5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/1/17
Brandon Moss, OF, Kansas City Royals
FanDuel Price: $2,500
Since the All-Star break, 257 hitters have recorded at least 25 batted-balls. Of that group, Brandon Moss ranks 19th in average exit velocity and 13th in average batted-ball distance.
The production hasn't been there for him against right-handed pitching this season, but with only a .225 BABIP despite a killer batted-ball profile (33.3% hard-hit, 14.2% soft-hit and 45.8% fly-ball rates), he's plenty dangerous, and we can expect his production to pick up.
Tonight's matchup is a good one, as he takes on Baltimore Orioles righty Dylan Bundy, who sports a 4.93 SIERA with a .360 wOBA and ugly 6.27 xFIP on a 38.8% hard-hit rate against left-handed bats this season.
