5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/26/17
Greg Bird's batted-ball numbers are incredibly appealing, especially his his salary. Who else should you target for big-time fantasy value on Wednesday?

Kennys Vargas, 1B, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $2,400

On the other side of that Twins-Rangers game, we don't get quite as good a matchup for the Twins' bats (taking on Cole Hamels). But they still stand to benefit from playing in a hitter-friendly park while Hamels has also struggled with right-handed hitters to start the season.

Kennys Vargas has only had 11 plate appearances this season. While that's obviously too small of a sample to draw any conclusions (even with some great batted-ball numbers), he also looked great through 177 plate appearances in 2016, posting a 41.7% hard-hit rate and 47.9% fly-ball rate.

The switch-hitting Vargas has also done his best work against southpaws over his career, racking up a .356 wOBA on a 35.3% hard-hit rate and making the Hamels matchup even less intimidating.
