4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/18/16

Marwin Gonzalez, 1B, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Our models project the Houston Astros to maul Cincinnati Reds’ rookie left-hander Cody Reed, who is making his MLB debut. The Astros’ implied total of 5.2 runs checks in as the day’s second-highest mark.

Marwin Gonzalez is a fairly cheap way to get some exposure to Houston’s lineup.

A switch hitter, Gonzalez fares better against left-handed pitching, recording a .328 wOBA with a .186 ISO from the right side of the dish. When the Astros face a southpaw, Gonzalez has been hitting second, sandwiched between Jose Altuve and George Springer. Verify that he’s in the lineup, but Gonzalez could be a cheap part of a Houston stack today.
