​4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/23/17​
Eduardo Escobar has a great matchup tonight against James Shields, who has posted an awful 6.73 xFIP against left-handed bats so far in 2017. Who else should you target for big-time value in daily fantasy baseball on Wednesday?

Eduardo Escobar, SS, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $2,800

The Minnesota Twins' 5.44 implied total is the highest on Wednesday's main slate as they take on the Chicago White Sox and righty James Shields.

Shields posted a career-worst 5.12 SIERA in 2016, and things haven't gone much better for him this year -- his current SIERA checks in at 5.11, and left-handed hitters have tagged him for a .439 wOBA and 6.73 xFIP.

The switch-hitting Eduardo Escobar has made good contact against right-handed pitching, evidenced by a 31.1% hard-hit rate, 12.8% soft-hit rate, and 44.2% fly-ball rate. With contact numbers like that, he shouldn't have much trouble getting things going in a matchup this favorable.
