5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/21/17
Matt Carpenter is once again an absolute steal as he draws a great matchup against Wily Peralta. Which other high-priced MLB players should you target on Friday?

Michael Saunders, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,500

He's by no means a dangerous slugger and is off to a slow start, but Michael Saunders does have some pop against right-handed pitching -- posting a 38.6% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching in 2016 (a 34.0% mark over his career).

That puts him in a pretty good spot against Bartolo Colon, a righty who has has posted a SIERA below 4.00 only once in his last five seasons, while it sits at 4.11 through three starts this year.

The 43-year-old Colon is coming off a 2016 season that saw him allow a .335 wOBA on a 37.3% hard-hit rate to left-handed hitters, making Saunders' batted-ball numbers especially promising here if he's in the lineup.
