5 MLB FanDuel Value Plays for 4/9/18

Aaron Altherr, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

Price: $2,700

We have a 65-inning sample to draw on over Cody Reed's first two seasons in the majors, and he has not looked good. His SIERA sits at a shaky 4.74, and in 12 games in 2017, he posted an especially heinous 6.46 SIERA. He has allowed a 38.3% hard-hit rate, and if we look at his just work against righties, that jumps to 41.4%.

That's a matchup that creates a ton of fantasy appeal in the Philadelphia Phillies' offense.

Aaron Altherr showed a ton of promise over his 412 plate appearances last year. His .359 wOBA and .245 ISO were both solid marks, and they came on a 36.4% hard-hit rate. As long as he's in the lineup, Altherr profiles as a sweet value play.
