4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/14/16
Kendrys Morales has a great matchup against Mike Foltynewicz and the Atlanta Braves tonight. What other cheap options should you target?

Kendrys Morales, 1B, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,600

Kendrys Morales is a switch-hitter who by far does his best work against right-handed pitching. Over his career, he has posted a .346 wOBA, 34.5% hard-hit rate and .204 ISO against righties. His numbers (and as a reflection of that, his salary) are down a bit to start this season, but there's plenty of reason to believe it's nothing more than a little hiccup. His 36.9% hard-hit rate on the year is higher than his career average. His home run-to-fly ball ratio is only 9.1% (compared to his career average of 14.6), and his .212 BABIP is well below his .297 career average -- both numbers we can expect to climb moving forward.

He'll have a good chance of bouncing back against Mike Foltynewicz tonight. Foltynewicz boasts a career 4.21 SIERA and has had serious struggles with left-handed hitting through his young career, allowing a .420 wOBA and posting a 5.10 xFIP against southpaws.
