5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/15/18

Josh Reddick, OF, Houston Astros

Price; $2,800

Josh Reddick has an uninspiring .316 wOBA in 2018, but with the way he has been hitting the ball, there's good reason to believe his production will pick up as we move forward. His 31.5% hard-hit rate and 16.9% soft-hit rate aren't outstanding marks, but they are both better than his career-averages. Despite this, his batting average on balls in play (BABIP) sits at .263, which is well below his career average, and represents his worst mark since 2013. And each of the last two seasons saw him post a BABIP north of .300.

Since the start of the 2017 season, Reddick's wOBA against righties still sits at a solid .350, which makes tonight's matchup against Jake Junis and the Kansas City Royals an appealing one.

Junis has shown some improvement from his shaky 2017 rookie numbers, but in 33 career Major League games, his SIERA still sits at a middling 4.18. He's also allowing a big 38.0% hard-hit rate this year, which is higher than the already worrying 36.7% he allowed in 2017. 2018 has also seen him post an especially poor 4.71 xFIP against left-handed bats.
