4 FanDuel MLB Value Plays for 7/20/16
Robinson Chirinos is in a good spot for his matchup against lefty Hector Santiago. What other players can put up big numbers without putting a strain on your budget?

Brian McCann, C, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $2,900

The Yankees have the second-highest implied total (5.04) on today's main slate as they take on Yovani Gallardo and the Baltimore Orioles in Yankee Stadium, one of the best parks in baseball for left-handed hitters.

Gallardo posted a career-high 4.59 SIERA with a career-low 15.3% strikeout rate in 2015, and he has been even worse this season with a brutal 5.68 SIERA and 12.2% walk rate that is worryingly close to his also-bad 14.5% strikeout rate. He has been especially terrible against left-handed hitters, allowing a huge .409 wOBA with a 6.28 xFIP.

Brian McCann isn't the most consistent fantasy option in the world, but he's slashing .239/.338/.442 with a .336 wOBA and .203 ISO on the year. As is the case over his whole career, he's making great contact against right-handed pitching with a 37.7% hard-hit rate. This is a great spot for McCann, and he has huge upside tonight.
