5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/23/18
Leonys Martin, OF, Detroit Tigers
Price: $2,800
Our models have Leonys Martin as the fourth-best point-per-dollar value among today's hitters as he takes on righty Heath Fillmyer and the Kansas City Royals.
Martin has done great work against righties this year, turning a 42.9% hard-hit rate into a .352 wOBA and .170 ISO. He also offers some nice fantasy upside once he gets on base, having notched seven steals through 73 contests in 2018.
Fillmyer has played in only five Major League games so far, and he has struggled to the tune of a 5.52 SIERA, with a 12.1% walk rate that eclipses his 10.6% strikeout rate. His 5.58 xFIP in 13 Triple-A starts this year doesn't inspire any confidence, either, making this a terrific matchup for Martin.
