5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/16/19
Tyler Flowers, C, Atlanta Braves
Price: $2,700
Tyler Flowers is hitting incredibly well to start 2019, with a .453 wOBA over 30 plate appearances. Obviously, that's a small sample, and we can expect some regression, but with wOBA's of .315, .358 and .338 over the last three years, his production shouldn't fall too far.
We're also seeing him make some great contact, with a 38.9% hard-hit rate. That's not likely to fall much (if any) as his lowest hard-hit rate since 2015 is 37.1%, and last year, he posted a career-best 48.9% hard-hit rate with only a 12.5% soft-hit rate.
He's another guy with something of a tough pitching matchup tonight as for all his inconsistency, Robbie Ray hasn't finished with a SIERA worse than 4.00 since 2015.
Ray is a southpaw, though, and with the platoon advantage, Flowers has mashed to the tune of a .389 wOBA and .166 ISO on a 38.2% hard-hit rate over 272 plate appearances since the start of the 2016 season.
