5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/15/18
Chris Iannetta, C, Colorado Rockies
Price: $2,700
On the other side of that Rockies/Rangers matchup, Yohander Mendez is starting for the Rangers, and that's good news for the Rockies' bats.
Mendez only managed a 5.21 xFIP over 10 Triple-A starts this season, and over the 16 Major League innings he has pitched, his SIERA sits at an ugly 5.64. Oddsmakers like the Rockies to take advantage of this matchup, and their 5.25 implied total is tied with the Rangers as Friday's highest.
More than capable of capitalizing on a matchup with a southpaw, Chris Iannetta has turned in a .348 wOBA and .198 ISO on a 33.7% hard-hit and 9.9% soft-hit rate against lefties in 155 plate appearances the last two seasons.
