5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/14/17
With a .368 wOBA and 40.8% hard-hit rate against righties, Logan Morrison is in a great spot tonight against Nick Tepesch. Which other low-cost players could produce big-time numbers?

Mallex Smith, OF, Tampa Bay Rays

FanDuel Price: $2,100

Back to the Rays, Mallex Smith is a cheap way to get exposure to that offense.

Tepesch has managed a meager 4.53 xFIP against left-handed bats over his major league career, and Smith has done his best work this season against right-handed pitching.

Smith's .310 wOBA isn't anything special, but at this price, it's encouraging enough, especially when combined with his 10.0% walk rate, because where Smith really offers fantasy value is with what he can do when he does get on base. He's stolen 16 bases in 63 major league games this year, and even though he'll likely be down in the order, we can stomach it as part of a Rays stack.
