5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/17/19
Justin Bour and the Angels have a strong implied total against Rangers righty Lance Lynn. Can we afford to look past the slugger's early-season struggles on Wednesday night?

Ender Inciarte, OF, Atlanta Braves

Price: $2,400

The Atlanta Braves boast the third-highest implied total (4.96 runs) on Wednesday's main slate, and Ender Inciarte makes for an inexpensive way to get exposure to that high-upside offense.

Inciarte's not the most consistent from the dish, and he hasn't finished with a wOBA above .328 in any of his first five major league seasons.

His career .336 on-base percentage isn't egregious though, and that sets him up for some nice fantasy upside on the basepaths. He's stolen at least 20 bases in three of the last four seasons, including a career-high 28 in 2018. He's already got 2 through 15 games in 2018, so getting on base opens him up for some big fantasy potential.

He's also typically done much better work against right-handed pitching, with a passable .324 wOBA for his career, making this an especially nice spot against Zack Godley, who has opened 2019 with a shaky 4.86 SIERA and 10.4% walk rate, which comes after he posted a 4.18 SIERA and 10.2% walk rate last season.
