5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/1/18
Matt Joyce is poised to hit atop the A's lineup against Ian Kennedy and the Royals. Which other budget-friendly hitters should you target on Friday?

Matt Olson, 1B, Oakland Athletics

Price: $2,900

That strong contact that Kennedy is allowing becomes especially concerning against a guy who can crush baseballs the way Matt Olson does.

Among the 277 hitters that have at least 50 batted balls against righties this year, Olson ranks 6th in average exit velocity. This comes after a 2017 campaign in which he ranked 13th among the 433 batters that made the same cut-off.

Those two seasons have seen him notch a big .388 wOBA and elite .322 ISO against right-handers, leaving him with giant upside as one of the best point-per-dollar plays on the board.
