3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 10/2/16
Stephen Drew, SS, Washington Nationals
FanDuel Price: $2,500
It has only been 160 plate appearances, but the 33-year-old Stephen Drew is having one of his best years from the dish, posting a .364 wOBA that is his best since his rookie year in 2006. He has been especially good against right-handed pitchers, slashing .280/.347/.568 with a .379 wOBA on a huge 42.4% hard-hit rate.
He draws a matchup with Tom Koehler that gives him a nice boost in value.
Koehler has a 4.15 ERA and 4.80 SIERA on the year -- to go with a career 4.11 ERA and 4.51 SIERA -- and he is sporting a career-worst 10.3% walk rate. Left-handed hitters are beating up on him to the tune of a .333 wOBA on the season, and Washington's southpaws are in a prime spot today.
