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?

Michael Kopech, SP, Chicago White Sox

Price: $6,000

One of the most highly touted prospects in the game, Michael Kopech is set to make his major league debut on Tuesday. The minor league numbers, for what they're worth, appear to show a path to some success. This year in Triple-A, Kopech owns a 3.42 xFIP and 31.3% strikeout rate, so the swing-and-miss ability is certainly there.

Perhaps even more tantalizing about this matchup is his opponent. Over the last 30 days, the Minnesota Twins have whiffed at the sixth-highest rate in baseball (23.3%), and they sport a pretty mediocre .312 weighted on-base average (wOBA).

The highly touted rookie may not be priced down for long, so grab him at a discounted price while you can.
