​4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/22/17​
Adam Jones, OF, Baltimore Orioles
FanDuel Price: $3,000
In a great matchup with Oakland Athletics righty Paul Blackburn, the Baltimore Orioles' 6.08 implied total is Tuesday's highest mark by a signifcant margin.
Despite an encouraging 3.46 ERA, Blackburn has actually really struggled in his nine big-league games, posting an ugly 5.22 SIERA with a 7.1% walk rate that pushes pretty close to his ugly 9.8% strikeout rate. These struggles aren't especially surprising after he managed only a 4.43 xFIP in his 15 career Triple-A starts.
Adam Jones has been hitting righties fairly well this season, sporting a .341 wOBA and .201 ISO on a 31.3% hard-hit rate in the split. That makes him a decent value on his own, and when you add in the O's monster implied total, it makes Jones very enticing.
