3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/9/16
Chase Utley, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers
FanDuel Price: $2,900
As our own John Stolnis broke down recently, Chase Utley is still playing great baseball at the age of 37.
The Dodgers' hitters have a great matchup tonight against the San Diego Padres' right-hander Luis Perdomo. Utley is hitting right-handed pitching really well this year, posting a .284/.370/.407 slash with a .341 wOBA and a 41.2% hard-hit rate.
Perdomo has had a rough rookie campaign, and while he hasn't been nearly as bad as his 7.93 ERA makes it look, his 4.01 SIERA doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Perdomo has given up a huge .405 wOBA with a 4.63 xFIP against left-handed hitters, and he has a tough matchup on his hands with Utley.
