5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/11/19
Is the Cubs' high implied total enough to put Ben Zobrist in play with a tough matchup against Joe Musgrove?

Ben Zobrist, OF, Chicago Cubs

Price: $2,900

On the other side of the windy Wrigley Field game, the Cubs own the main slate's second-highest implied total as they take on Pittsburgh righty Joe Musgrove.

Musgrove is no pushover, with a 3.95 SIERA in his short MLB career, but he's given up a .329 wOBA to left-handed hitters, so he's still beatable and shouldn't scare you off from the Cubs when they've got an implied total this high.

The switch-hitting Ben Zobrist projects to bad leadoff, which already gives him some intriguing value in this offense. It's not just the external factors putting Zobrist into play tonight, though. He's posted a wOBA of at least .350 against righties in two of the last three seasons, failing to hit that mark only when he suffered from a lowly .251 BABIP in the split in 2017.
