4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/2/16
A pair of Houston bats offer big-time upside at a bargain price. What other cheap options are in a good spot?

Preston Tucker, OF, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $2,100

As I mentioned, Astros lefties are very promising against R.A. Dickey and his 5.27 xFIP tonight.

Preston Tucker was very solid versus right-handed pitching in his 2015 rookie campaign, slashing .255/.314/.494 with a .347 wOBA and .238 ISO.

His numbers this year have been much less impressive, bringing his daily fantasy price tag near the minimum, but he hasn't actually been hitting all that poorly.

Tucker has a huge 37.8% hard-hit rate against righties this season, but his BABIP is sitting at a lowly .197. That discrepancy combined with his production last year leave a lot of room for optimism. With a great matchup and incredibly low salary tonight, he's a nice play.
