5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/5/17
Odubel Herrera, OF, Philadelphia Phillies
FanDuel Price: $2,500
Like Moss, Odubel Herrera is a guy who's been dealing with some bad luck in 2017. He's on pace for a career-best 31.1% hard-hit rate this year, but his .293 BABIP is well below his career-average of .355 (which comes over a sizable sample of 1407 plate appearances).
He also draws an excellent matchup tonight, as the Phillies have Monday's third-highest implied total (4.87) against Atlanta righty Bartolo Colon, whose start to 2017 has been about what you'd expect from a 44-year-old who's posted a SIERA better than 4.00 in only one of his last five seasons. Colon is on pace for a career-worst 4.80 SIERA and the second-lowest strikeout rate (14.0%) of his career, while also getting tagged for the third-highest hard-hit rate (33.2%) of his long baseball life.
