3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/7/17
The Nationals are in position to put up big offensive numbers tonight, which makes leadoff hitter Brian Goodwin a terrific value in daily fantasy.

Jim Adduci, OF, Detroit Tigers

FanDuel Price: $2,400

Jim Adduci has found himself all over the lineup card for the Detroit Tigers, but has resided as the two-hitter in five of their past six games, lending him even more fantasy value. He should hit in the top-third of the lineup again tonight against righty Trevor Williams and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Williams has a middle-of-the-pack 4.58 SIERA, but has struggled against left-handed hitters, watching his xFIP balloon from 3.92 against righties to 5.00 against lefties. His strikeout rate has settled in at just 13.7%, as well.

Adduci has demolished right-handed pitching to the tune of a 52.2% hard-hit rate and .330 wOBA. That is a small sample size (72 plate appearances against righties), but it isn't often that you can target a player with a hard-hit rate above 50.0% for near-minimum price.
