5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/27/18
Returning from the DL, Xander Bogaerts is a steal at minimum-salary. What other budget-friendly hitters should you target on Friday?

Trey Mancini, OF, Baltimore Orioles

Price: $2,800

Taking on the Detroit Tigers and right-hander Mike Fiers, Baltimore's 4.89 implied total is Friday's highest mark. Fiers has a 4.61 SIERA through three starts this season, which is on pace to top 2017's 4.52 as a new career-worst. Since the beginning of that 2017 season, he has allowed a big .352 wOBA to opposing hitters.

Trey Mancini will likely be in the enviable position of batting leadoff for the day's most promising offense.

Sporting a .352 wOBA and .198 ISO over his young major league career, Mancini's showing plenty of promise. Righty-versus-righty matchups haven't slowed him down much either, tagging right-handed pitchers for a .355 wOBA and .206 ISO on a 35.1% hard-hit rate. Those numbers are more than enough to create plenty of value, especially hitting out of the top spot in a high-upside matchup.
