4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/18/17
Jason Kipnis, 2B, Cleveland Indians
FanDuel Price: $2,600
The Cleveland Indians have a 4.93 implied total today in a good matchup with righty Ian Kennedy and the Kansas City Royals, whose 4.73 SIERA is on pace to be his worst since 2009. It also doesn't help that he's allowing a huge 44.7% hard-hit rate and 5.48 xFIP against left-handers.
Jason Kipnis has been fairly underwhelming from the dish, but he's been making some solid contact against righties (30.9% hard-hit rate, 46.6% fly ball rate), and has been producing well recently -- he's collected extra-base hits in 5 of his last 7 games. numberFire's models also have Kipnis as the day's top point-per-dollar value.
