5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/30/18
Marcus Semien, SS, Oakland Athletics
Price: $2,500
Marcus Semien typically bats leadoff against southpaws for Oakland, and that should once again be the case tonight against Wade LeBlanc and the Seattle Mariners.
Semien isn't overly dangerous from the dish, but his .336 wOBA and .193 ISO against lefties are both solid enough marks, especially with the high number of plate appearances and the potential for runs and RBI that batting leadoff affords him.
Wade LeBlanc has a middling 4.22 SIERA on the year, and his 4.45 xFIP against right-handed bats makes this matchup a solid one for Semien.
