4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/9/16
Adam Lind, 1B, Seattle Mariners
FanDuel Price: $2,600
After having something of a breakout in 2014 and 2015, Josh Tomlin has been largely underwhelming this year, sporting a 4.22 SIERA and 16.5 percent strikeout rate through 10 starts.
He has generally struggled against left-handed hitters over his career, owning a 4.17 xFIP, and that makes this an appealing matchup for Adam Lind.
Lind isn't blowing anyone away this season, but with a 39.0 percent hard-hit rate (the second-highest of his career) and only a .277 BABIP (the third-lowest of his career), we can expect his production to improve a bit. He's coming off of a 2015 season in which he hit .291/.380/.503 with a .374 wOBA and .211 ISO against righties, and with the solid contact he's making this year, there's no doubt that he still has something in the tank.
