5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/27/18
Mark Reynolds, 3B, Washington Nationals
Price: $2,400
Mark Reynolds is starting for the Washington Nationals while Anthony Rendon is on paternity leave.
Reynolds has made 141 plate appearances this season, racking up a huge .389 wOBA and .270 ISO. Even if he cools off a bit, he posted a .357 wOBA and .219 wOBA in almost 600 plate appearances last year, and that's still excellent production at this price point.
He brings that into a plus matchup as well, taking on Miami Marlins righty Pablo Lopez. Lopez has been solid enough through four Major League starts, but that's a tiny sample, and his only other four games above Double-A saw him post a 4.52 xFIP in Triple-A.
numberFire's models have Reynolds as a top-three point-per-dollar value among today's bats.
