4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/2/16
A pair of Houston bats offer big-time upside at a bargain price. What other cheap options are in a good spot?

Danny Espinosa, SS, Washington Nationals

FanDuel Price: $3,000

With Robbie Ray on the mound for Arizona tonight and the game being played at the hitter-friendly Chase Field, the Washington Nationals have one of the higher implied totals on the slate at 4.95.

Ray has made some improvements this season and is sporting a career-best 3.53 SIERA, but he has still allowed a .348 wOBA to right-handed hitters on the year, which is right in line with his career .347 wOBA.

Danny Espinosa is sporting the second-highest hard-hit rate (33.9%) and second-highest ISO (.190) of his career. He is hitting lefties especially well, slashing .235/.286/.529 with a .336 wOBA, 39.3% hard-hit rate and only an 8.2% soft-hit rate. He's in a good spot to succeed against Ray.
