5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/29/19
The Brewers draw a tough matchup with lefty Kyle Freeland on Monday. That doesn't mean we can't expect big things from Ryan Braun.

Ryan Braun, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

Price: $2,800

If you're not into Perez, a guy striking out on nearly 40% of his plate appearances, you can pay up some and get a safer Brewers value stick in Ryan Braun (or you can just stack the hugely under-priced lineup, which has four hitters projected to bat in their top six priced below $3,000).

Braun's another guy suffering from a low BABIP this year, with a .210 clip that is miles below his .326 career average and still way below his decreased BABIP marks of .292 and .274 from the last two seasons.

He's sporting a 41.8% hard-hit rate that isn't far off last year's 43.0% mark, and he's also got a 36.4% fly-ball rate. Contact has been no issue, so there's no need to be concerned about his lack of production so far in 2019.

The last time Braun posted a wOBA below .355 against southpaws was way back in 2010, and even with Freeland looking pretty good so far in 2019, Braun is in a great spot to get to bouncing back from this slow start.
