4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/6/16
Preston Tucker offers some big upside at a minimum salary. Who else can give you solid fantasy production without breaking the bank?

Preston Tucker, OF, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $2,000

For minimum salary against a right-handed pitcher, Preston Tucker will almost always have some fantasy appeal.

In Tucker's 2015 rookie season, he hit righties well, slashing .255/.314/.494 with a .347 wOBA, .238 ISO and 33.33% hard-hit rate. His production has fallen off this year, but he is sporting an improved 36.4% hard-hit rate. With only a .189 BABIP, there is a lot of room to believe he's been hitting better than his numbers indicate.

He has a fairly good matchup tonight against Lucas Harrell, who is sporting a 5.21 SIERA on the season. Harrell has only posted a SIERA below 4.15 once in his six seasons. He has a career 4.70 xFIP against left-handed hitters.
