5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/5/17

Austin Barnes, C, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,000

Austin Barnes isn't any everyday starter for the Los Angeles Dodgers, so keep an eye on their lineup closer to lock, but in addition to his duties spelling Yasmani Grandal behind the plate, the Dodgers are showing a willingness to use Barnes as a utility guy, giving him the start at second base (his fourth non-catcher start of the season) on Sunday.

The sample-size is an admittedly small 74 plate appearances, but Barnes has a solid .378 wOBA to open the season, while also being on pace for a career-best 32.0% hard-hit rate. He also owns a career .356 wOBA against left-handed pitching, giving him a bump tonight against Washington Nationals southpaw Gio Gonzalez, while being priced all the way down at minimum-salary.
