5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/21/18
Randal Grichuk has been popping righties all year, and he draws another great matchup on tonight's slate. What other value plays should we consider?

Jonathan Schoop, SS, Milwaukee Brewers

Price: $2,700

Outside the thin air of Denver, tonight's third-highest total (5.17) is owned by the Milwaukee Brewers, and that's thanks to a matchup with struggling right-hander Sal Romano of the Cincinnati Reds.

Spanning Romano's last 10 appearances (8 starts), the young righty has been tattooed for a 5.56 ERA over 43 2/3 innings pitched, which include a 37.1% hard-hit rate against. If we pare those numbers back to Romano's last seven appearances, the warts continue to emerge, as his swinging-strike rate has fallen all the way down to 7.7% over that span.

Schoop, meanwhile, has hit righties hard, popping them for a .208 isolated power (ISO) and 13 dingers. Given Romano's recent struggles and Schoop's power, it could make for an explosive evening.
