5 MLB FanDuel Value Plays for 4/5/18
Corey Dickerson, OF, Pittsburgh Pirates
Price: $2,500
Corey Dickerson is a guy who consistently makes excellent contact against right-handed pitching.
In two seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, Dickerson notched a 44.3% fly-ball rate, 32.8% hard-hit rate and 16.3% soft-hit rate. That batted-ball profile translated to a .335 wOBA and strong .242 ISO. That kind of power gives him plenty of fantasy upside.
His upside is especially appealing tonight as he'll be taking on Cincinnati Reds righty Homer Bailey. Bailey allowed left-handed bats to post a 31.5% hard-hit rate with a low 14.1% soft-hit rate, translating to a .356 wOBA and 5.73 xFIP in 2017.
