5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/17/18
Daniel Palka offers big upside at a low price against Royals righty Jake Junis tonight. What other cost-effective bats should you target on Friday?

Ronald Guzman, 1B, Texas Rangers

Price: $2,500

If $3,000 isn't freeing up enough salary space for you, Ronald Guzman is a cheaper way to gain exposure to the Texas offense.

Guzman doesn't quite have Gallo's power numbers, but a .202 ISO on a 32.9% hard-hit and 40.4% fly-ball rate against righties still gives him plenty of upside. He's been especially productive at home this year as well, with a .340 wOBA and .207 ISO, compared to a .311 wOBA and .187 ISO on the road.

Despaigne has a particularly weak 5.04 xFIP and .339 wOBA against left-handed bats, and bringing that into a hitter-friendly environment such as Texas will likely spell trouble.
