5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/23/18
Kike Hernandez is in an appealing spot against lefty Jarlin Garcia. Which other lost-cost bats should you target?

Stephen Piscotty, OF, Oakland Athletics

Price: $2,900

The Oakland Athletics' 5.36 implied total is Monday's second-highest mark as they travel to take on Texas Rangers lefty Matt Moore at hitter-friendly Globe Life Park,

Moore has opened 2018 with a 5.00 SIERA, which isn't far off from the career-worst 4.86 SIERA he posted in 2017. Since the start of that 2017 season, he's allowing a 36.1% hard-hit and 44.9% fly-ball rate to right-handed bats, with an ugly 5.15 xFIP in the split.

Stephen Piscotty has made 342 career plate appearances against southpaws, tallying a very solid .370 wOBA and .190 ISO on a 33.1% hard-hit rate. Those marks are more than strong enough to create a ton of value when he's surrounded by what should be a high-scoring offense in a matchup this favorable.
