5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/6/18

Joey Gallo, OF, Texas Rangers

Price: $2,700

Joey Gallo's inconsistency from the dish means that his price tag rarely captures his upside when he's taking on a right-handed pitcher. His strikeout rate is north of 35%, as it has been in each of his Major League seasons, but he's continuing to show serious pop in his bat, with a .264 ISO.

Just looking at his work against right-handed pitching, he has a 49.6% hard-hit rate, 8.8% soft-hit rate and 50.4% fly-ball rate. He ranks sixth in the Majors (minimum 50 batted balls) in average exit velocity against righties, while also sitting sixth in average batted-ball distance. When Gallo makes contact, he makes serious contact.

Over two Major League seasons, Toronto's Sam Gaviglio has allowed an ugly 4.96 xFIP to left-handed bats, so he doesn't do much to stifle Gallo's upside here.
