5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/9/18
Ji-Man Choi offers plenty of upside on the cheap against David Hess tonight. What other budget-friendly bats should you target on Thursday?

Gerardo Parra, OF, Colorado Rockies

Price: $3,000

On the other side of that Coors Field matchup, the Rockies don't offer as much fantasy appeal, but they do still boast a solid 5.03 implied total against the Dodgers' Ross Stripling.

The right-handed Stripling has put together a stellar season, with a 2.67 xFIP as a starter, but the Rockies' offense is tied for fifth in the Majors in ISO at home (.192). The Coors Field advantage puts their offense on the table even in tough pitching matchups.

Gerardo Parra has a solid .344 wOBA on a 37.3% hard-hit rate against righties this season, and while those numbers wouldn't put him in play against Stripling on most nights, tonight's short main slate combined with Coors makes his upside worth targeting.
