4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/18/17
Edinson Volquez has struggled against left-handed hitters this season, and Yasmani Grandal offers huge upside in this matchup. Who else should you target for big-time fantasy value on Thursday?

Leury Garcia, OF, Chicago White Sox

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Leury Garcia has been producing pretty well this year, with a career-high .347 wOBA through 123 plate appearances. His 13.0% strikeout rate is also way down, and only half as high as the next-lowest mark in his five-year career.

He has a higher hard-hit rate and wOBA against right-handed pitching than against southpaws over his career, and that makes his matchup tonight against Seattle Mariners righty Sam Gaviglio a promising one.

The rookie Gaviglio will be making his first big league start tonight, and he only managed a 4.25 xFIP through five starts in Triple-A this year, raising some real question marks around his ability to hold his own in the majors.
