5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/8/17
Matt Adams has tagged righties for a 39.4% hard-hit rate this season, and he draws a plus matchup against Philadelphia's Ben Lively tonight. Who else should you target for big-time fantasy value on Thursday?

Matt Adams, 1B, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $2,700

The Atlanta Braves have a strong 4.91 implied total tonight as Philadelphia Phillies' righty Ben Lively makes his second major league start.

Lively posted a middling 3.87 xFIP in nine Triple-A starts this year, and while he made it seven innings in his major league debut, he recorded 0 strikeouts with 3 walks in that one, posting a 6.78 xFIP.

Matt Adams has been solid from the dish this season, with a .352 wOBA and .252 isolated slugging (ISO) over 124 plate appearances, while making especially good contact (39.4% hard-hit rate) against right-handed pitching, and he shouldn't have much trouble taking advantage of this matchup.
