5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/14/17
Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees
FanDuel Price: $2,800
It's a right-versus-righty matchup for Aaron Judge against Michael Wacha. That's not ideal, but he's cheap enough that he can still offer some big value.
Wacha was not especially good against righties in 2016, allowing a hefty .358 wOBA and sporting a 4.03 xFIP. His 2015 numbers (.313 wOBA, 3.84 xFIP) aren't anything to write home about, either.
It's a tiny sample size of 33 plate appearances, but Judge has posted a 54.5% hard-hit rate this year after posting a 48.8% mark in 95 plate appearances last season. With a career hard-hit rate settling in at 50.8%, it's hard to look past that kind of upside.
