5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 8/8/18
Adam Eaton, OF, Washington Nationals
Price: $3,000
We're up to a sample of 200 plate appearances for Adam Eaton this season, after the outfielder missed some time due to injury. So far, his production is holding up well. Eaton's .354 wOBA is on pace to be his second-best since 2012 (behind only his .369 last year), and that's coming on a career-best 37.9% hard-hit rate.
If we combine the last two seasons to get a larger sample (268 plate appearances), he has been especially deadly against right-handed pitching. In that split, he has turned a decent 35.9% hard-hit rate into a hefty .382 wOBA.
His matchup isn't especially strong, but Atlanta Braves righty Mike Foltynewicz has had some issues with left-handed bats this year, allowing a 4.35 xFIP and leaving plenty of room for Eaton to keep producing at a high level.
