3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 7/25/18
Ronald Guzman, 1B, Texas Rangers
Price: $2,300
Ronald Guzman doesn't quite offer the upside that Gallo does, but priced $300 above the minimum, he's a strong way to get cheap exposure to that highly-projected Rangers offense.
Edwin Jackson has had an especially tough time with left-handed bats this year, sporting a 4.97 xFIP. That gives him a 5.06 xFIP against lefties over the last three seasons.
In his first season in the Majors, Guzman hasn't shown anything special from the dish in his first season, but his .318 wOBA isn't a terrible mark, and his .176 ISO shows a fair amount of power. He's also making some decent contact against righties, with a 31.7% hard-hit and 41.5% fly-ball rate.
Value is tough to come by on a small slate like this, and production like that is more than enough to create some solid value while he's one of the cheapest ways to get exposure to the Rangers' offense.
