5 MLB FanDuel Value Plays for 4/2/18
Matt Joyce can mash righties, and he's a superb value in a matchup with Bartolo Colon. Which other low-cost options are in a nice spot?

Josh Reddick, OF, Houston Astros

Price: $2,700

Going right back to the Astros and that enticing implied total, we can expect their left-handed bats to be particularly productive in this spot as Tillman posted some extreme platoon splits in his ugly 2017 showing. He faced 203 left-handed hitters and managed only a 10.8% strikeout rate in the split to go with a 19.2% walk rate while allowing a .429 wOBA and 7.12 xFIP.

Josh Reddick posted a career-best .357 wOBA last year, and he made very solid contact against righties (43.7% fly-ball rate, 17.7% soft-hit rate, 32.9% hard-hit rate), which he turned into a .363 wOBA and .190 ISO.

He's a cost-effective way to get exposure to the high-powered Houston offense on Monday, and he could be in a meaty spot in the order.
