4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/14/18
Nick Ahmed is producing well against southpaws, putting him in a nice spot against Jason Vargas. Which other budget-friendly hitters should you target on Thursday?

Mike Zunino, C, Seattle Mariners

Price: $3,000

Mike Zunino's numbers are down this year, but he has made only 52 plate appearances against southpaws, the split in which he has typically done his best work. He's coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him crack lefties for a .369 wOBA, which was right in line with the .368 wOBA he posted off lefties in 2016. Since 2016, he has a 38.5% hard-hit rate and 49.0% fly-ball rate against southpaws, and his 40.0% hard-hit rate and 48.0% fly-ball rate this season give him ample upside.

Boston Red Sox lefty David Price isn't the scary matchup he once was. He's on pace for his second consecutive season with a SIERA north of 4.00, and over those two seasons, he has allowed a 35.3% hard-hit rate and 43.3% fly-ball rate to right-handed bats.
