5 MLB FanDuel Value Plays for 4/3/18
Eric Thames is cheap despite a great matchup with Jack Flaherty and the Cardinals. What other budget-friendly hitters should you target on Tuesday?

Curtis Granderson, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

Price: $2,000

At 37 years old, Curtis Granderson still offers plenty of promise against right-handed pitching. Last season, he managed a solid .343 wOBA and .255 ISO despite posting a mediocre .227 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) -- well below his .298 career average against righties -- on a 35.0% hard-hit rate. He hasn't had a good start to 2018, but 15 plate appearances is hardly a significant sample, and the fact that he's priced down at the minimum makes that especially easy to look past.

Granderson also finds himself in a great matchup tonight. Chicago White Sox righty Miguel Gonzalez finished 2017 with a 5.93 SIERA, which is the third-worst mark among starters on today's main slate. He allowed an especially high .360 wOBA and 5.74 xFIP on a 34.3% hard-hit rate to hitters from the left side of the plate, which is where Granderson will look to do his damage tonight.
