5 MLB FanDuel Value Plays for 4/6/18
Neil Walker, 1B, New York Yankees
Price: $2,900
Neil Walker is another left-handed stick that gets a big boost against Gausman. Budget-friendly Yankee bats are easy to like tonight, as they boast a 5.05 implied total that is the third-highest on the main slate, and getting cheap exposure to an offense with that kind of upside gives you a lot of freedom with your lineup construction.
The switch-hitting Walker finished 2017 with a .346 wOBA, and his best work (by a huge margin) came against right-handed pitching. He drew a 12.5% walk rate against righties, and converted impressive contact numbers (15.9% soft-hit, 39.2% fly-ball and 34.3% hard-hit rates) into a .366 wOBA and .200 ISO.
