4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/21/17
Seth Smith, OF, Baltimore Orioles
FanDuel Price: $2,700
Seth Smith ranks 19th in average exit velocity and 44th in average batted-ball distance among the nearly 300 hitters with at least 25 batted balls so far in August. His contact numbers against right-handed pitching have also been solid from a season-long perspective, evidenced by a 37.0% hard-hit rate and 13.5% soft-hit rate.
The Baltimore Orioles' 5.94 implied total is Monday's highest by a big margin, and Smith gets a great matchup against right-hander Chris Smith, who has an ugly 5.45 SIERA through seven games, as well as an awful 6.25 xFIP against left-handed bats.
