3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 9/6/18

Greg Allen, OF, Cleveland Indians

Price: $2,500

At 4.90 runs, the Cleveland Indians have the highest implied total on the slate by a decent margin.

They're up against Toronto Blue Jays righty Sam Gaviglio, who has a middling 4.08 SIERA and has allowed a 34.5% hard-hit rate this season. On a slate this short, you'll want to do what you can to get exposure to the Cleveland offense.

Greg Allen isn't a high-floor way to get said exposure, producing inconsistently on the year, but he's very cheap and also offers some upside.

He has made 204 plate appearances against right-handed pitching this year, and while his .278 wOBA is an ugly mark, he has shown plenty of pop. In that sample, he has a 38.2% hard-hit rate with only a 12.7% soft-hit rate, and with numbers like that, we can expect his 4.3% home-run-to-fly-ball rate to increase moving forward. That will help him realize some of the fantasy upside that his batted-ball numbers provide.
