5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/13/18
Jorge Bonifacio offers some big value in a great matchup against White Sox righty James Shields. What other budget-friendly hitters should you target on Friday?

Marcell Ozuna, OF, St. Louis Cardinals

Price: $2,900

The St. Louis Cardinals' offense has been a great source of value this week, and today is no different. They draw a plus matchup against right-hander Matt Harvey and the Cincinnati Reds, which leaves them sporting a solid 4.60 implied total.

Marcell Ozuna hasn't produced especially well this season, but he's still showing flashes of what has made him so dangerous in the past. His .306 wOBA is his lowest since 2015, however, his 45.8% hard-hit rate is on pace to be a career-best, while his 15.9% soft-hit rate is his lowest since 2014.

A righty-versus-righty matchup also makes this a particularly good spot for him. Ozuna posts reverse platoon splits from the dish, and over 817 plate appearances in the last 2 seasons, he has tagged right-handed pitchers for a .367 wOBA and .215 isolated slugging (ISO) on a 42.0% hard-hit rate.
