5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/26/18
Mallex Smith combines an improved hitting approach with added upside on the basepaths. Which other budget-friendly hitters should you target?

Adam Eaton, OF, Washington Nationals

Price: $3,000

Adam Eaton is having a strong year from the dish, with a .365 wOBA that's right in line with the .369 he posted in 2017. He has combined for 274 plate appearances in that stretch, and that production has come on a strong 37.2% hard-hit and 15.8% soft-hit rate.

His production has been especially impressive against right-handed hurlers over those two seasons, with his wOBA jumping to .392. That puts him in a good spot against righty Dan Straily and the Miami Marlins.

Straily is sporting a career-worst 5.01 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) in 2018, with an especially ugly 5.12 xFIP and 41.2% hard-hit rate against left-handed hitters. Combining this matchup with Eaton's production leaves him way underpriced here.
