5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/21/18
Jason Heyward, OF, Chicago Cubs
Price: $2,700
Sticking with the Cubs and their hefty implied total, Jason Heyward projects to bat second in this great matchup with Harvey and the Reds' weak bullpen.
Harvey has been especially terrible against left-handed bats this year, allowing a massive .393 wOBA and 5.42 xFIP. That comes with a batted-ball profile that includes a 43.4% hard-hit rate, 13.1% soft-hit rate and 43.8% fly-ball rate, making this a particularly great spot for a resurgent Heyward.
Heyward has done solid work against right-handed pitching this year, too. He has a 34.6% hard-hit and 42.6% fly-ball rate, which have translated to a .349 wOBA over 170 plate appearances.
