5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/4/17
Yunel Escobar, 3B, Los Angeles Angels
FanDuel Price: $2,700
Yunel Escobar has had a pretty underwhelming start, but with a hard-hit rate around both his career average and his mark from last season, that's not too much of a concern just yet.
He has also been hitting left-handed pitching well through a small sample, with a .364 wOBA that's right in line with the .365 wOBA he posted against southpaws last season, along with a 36.0% hard-hit rate.
He brings that into a plus matchup against Ariel Miranda, who has allowed a career 35.4% hard-hit rate, 53.1% fly-ball rate and 4.83 xFIP against right-handed hitters, making this a great game to target Los Angeles Angels righties.
