5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/21/18
Randal Grichuk has been popping righties all year, and he draws another great matchup on tonight's slate. What other value plays should we consider?

Randal Grichuk, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

Price: $2,900

The Toronto Blue Jays have a date with Dylan Bundy of the Baltimore Orioles, and with the 11th-best wOBA (.334) over the last week, they will look to continue their hot hitting.

Bundy does possess some solid marks in his pitching profile -- a 24.2% strikeout rate and 12.6% swinging-strike rate, but Bundy's batted-ball profile tells a slightly different story, as the fly-ball pitcher has allowed the ball in the air at a 46.4% clip. That's led to an ugly 2.05 home runs per nine innings pitched (HR/9).

Randal Grichuk is nearing his third straight 20-homer season, as he owns 17 on the year. The outfielder has managed to cut down on his strikeouts nicely, reducing them from a career average 28.8% down to 24.0% in 2018. He's also putting the ball into the air plenty, with a 44.6% fly-ball rate, and that mark (45.0%) climbs slightly against same-sided arms.

Grichuk also sports a .249 ISO against righties, making him a great play in the Rogers Centre this evening.
