5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/27/17
In the second half of today's doubleheader, Aledmys Diaz is in a great spot against Casey Lawrence and the Blue Jays. Who else should you target for big-time fantasy value on Thursday?

Brandon Drury, 2B, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Saving the slate's best offense for last here, the Diamondbacks have a huge 5.59 implied total tonight -- the highest mark of the day.

Padres' righty Jered Weaver has been really struggling in recent years. His SIERA has gotten progressively worse in each of the last six seasons, culminating in what was then a career-worst 4.88 mark in 2015, followed by a 5.44 showing in 2016. He also posted strikeout rates below 14.0 percent in both seasons.

His 4.41 SIERA this year isn't quite as bad as those marks, but still doesn't inspire any sort of confidence.

Brandon Drury hasn't been an elite fantasy producer by any stretch, but he posted a decent .335 wOBA in 2016 and has topped that with a .339 this season. The Diamondbacks are easily the top offense on the slate, and with only four games on tap, any cheap exposure you can get is going to provide you with some nice value. Just be sure to check and see if Drury is penciled into the lineup.
