5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/12/17
Tommy Pham has been raking, and he draws a promising matchup against Cubs righty Eddie Butler. Who else should you target for big-time daily fantasy baseball value on Friday?

Justin Smoak, 1B, Toronto Blue Jays

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Justin Smoak has been absolutely crushing the ball for the Toronto Blue Jays recently. He ranks 30th in average exit velocity over the past 15 days, with a 45.2% hard-hit rate and only a 7.1% soft-hit rate during that time.

A switch-hitter, Smoak has a higher hard-hit rate (35.2%) against right-handed hurlers than he does against southpaws over his career, and that puts him in a promising spot against Christian Bergman.

Bergman has only made one start this season, but he owns a 4.43 SIERA with only a 13.8% strikeout rate over his career, allowing a big 37.2% hard-hit rate.
