4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays For 6/19/16
Kike Hernandez, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers
FanDuel Price: $2,000
Kike Hernandez has a career .324 wOBA through 485 plate appearances, but his part-time role and early-season struggles have kept his salary at a minimum level.
He is sporting a lowly .263 wOBA with four dingers, but Hernandez does, however, boast a respectable 9.0% walk rate and 32.6% hard-hit rate. His numbers are crippled by his .216 BABIP, which is miles below his .301 career average. Hernandez also been much better in June, posting a 30.4% hard-hit rate this month after recording a 21.4% hard-hit rate in May.
The Dodgers have an implied total of 4.69 runs for their clash with Milwaukee Brewers’ right-handed starter Matt Garza, who hasn’t had a SIERA under 3.58 since 2011.
With his role as a super utility weapon, it’s worth verifying Hernandez is in the lineup, but when he’s played of late, he has hit near the top of the order.
