5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/29/19
Jackie Bradley Jr., OF, Boston Red Sox
Price: $2,300
Generally a low-floor, high-upside way to get exposure to the offense of the Boston Red Sox, Jackie Bradley is in play for the usual reasons tonight.
The Sox have the second-highest implied total of the night (4.82 runs) as they take on Oakland Athletics righty Frankie Montas, who is showing some improvement this season but still owns a career 4.47 SIERA and is giving up a 37.3% hard-hit rate in 2019.
Bradley has an awful .198 wOBA over 91 plate appearances this year, but with a .218 BABIP, we can expect some serious regression. He's still making fine contact (33.9% hard-hit rate, 12.5% soft-hit rate), and his walk rate sits at a solid 9.9%.
Bradley has consistently shown us plenty of upside when he's got the platoon advantage, with an ISO of at least .185 in three of the last four seasons and overall a .334 wOBA and .206 ISO on a 38.1% hard-hit rate against righties in that time.
With the Sox likely to do a fair amount of scoring, his power adds plenty of RBI potential, giving him a great ceiling relative to his price-tag.
