5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/15/18
Max Kepler is making the best contact of his career, and he offers plenty of upside at his price. What other budget-friendly hitters should you target on Tuesday night?

Max Kepler, OF, Minnesota Twins

Price: $2,500

We go back to the Twins and that promising matchup against Flaherty for this one. Max Kepler is another left-handed stick, which we've established is the kind of player that can really thrive against Flaherty.

Kepler has opened 2018 with a decent .338 wOBA, but what should really catch your eye is the quality contact he's making. With each of his four seasons in the Majors, he has seen a decrease in soft-hit rate and increase in fly-ball rate. His 43.4% hard-hit rate this year is a career-high, his 43.4% fly-ball rate is a career-high, and his 15.0% soft-hit rate is a career-low. That makes his career-best .211 ISO very unsurprising.

Showing pop like that, he's way under-priced relative to his upside here.
