5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/17/17
Ian Happ's salary is still barely above minimum salary tonight while the Cubs' offense is in a great spot with the wind blowing out in Wrigley. Who else should you target for big-time daily fantasy baseball value on Wednesday?

Matt Joyce, OF, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $2,700

Matt Joyce hasn't had a great year from the dish, but there's a lot to like about him in DFS tonight.

He has typically been hitting at the top of the order (either leadoff or second) for the Oakland Athletics, he has made some nice contact recently -- ranking 80th in exit velocity and 42nd in average batted-ball distance over the last 15 days -- and he has posted serviceable numbers against righties (.334 wOBA on a 33.3% hard-hit rate).

He brings that into a good matchup with Seattle Mariners righty Christian Bergman, who has a 4.47 SIERA over his career, including a 4.99 mark to go with a 37.3% hard-hit rate through two starts this season.
