​4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/23/17​
Tommy Joseph, 1B, Philadelphia Phillies
FanDuel Price: $2,100
Tommy Joseph hasn't been wowing anyone with his production in 2017 -- he's only managed a .306 wOBA -- but his 35.5% hard-hit rate is pretty good. Since his salary is just $100 above the site minimum, it's not hard to find upside when he's making solid contact at an above-average rate.
His matchup against Justin Nicolino certainly does the trick, too -- he has a 5.39 SIERA through eight games (putting him on pace for a SIERA worse than 5.10 for the third straight season), and he has a 5.42 xFIP against right-handed bats.
Our models also love Joseph tonight, projecting him as our top point-per-dollar value on the slate.
