5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/11/19
Jackie Bradley, OF, Boston Red Sox
Price: $2,200
Another pitcher struggling with walks, Toronto Blue Jays righty Aaron Sanchez has opened 2019 with a 10.9% walk rate -- putting him on pace for a double-digit walk rate for his fourth time in the last five seasons.
His 2017 campaign was plagued with blister issues, but he did not look good in 2018, either, turning in a 5.10 SIERA with an 18.1% strikeout rate and career-worst 12.2% walk rate.
This juicy matchup leaves the Boston Red Sox with a slate-best 5.45-run implied total, making them an offense you're going to want exposure to.
Jackie Bradley's numbers aren't anything to write home about, but he's got the platoon advantage and is priced only $200 above the minimum.
Even with his production down in recent years, JBJ turned in not-terrible marks with a .313 wOBA and .158 ISO in 2017 and .310 wOBA and .169 ISO in 2018. Last year, that included a .329 wOBA against right-handed pitching, which is passable enough to give him some value in a spot as favorable as this one.
