5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/16/18
Kurt Suzuki, C, Atlanta Braves
Price: $2,700
On the other side of that Cubs-Braves matchup, Atlanta has an even higher implied total at 4.78 runs against Cubs righty Tyler Chatwood.
Chatwood has an awful 5.64 SIERA to open the 2018 season, and he's coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him struggle to the tune of a 4.78.
Kurt Suzuki is more than capable of taking advantage of a matchup with a struggling pitcher, even when it leaves him in a righty-versus-righty matchup. Since the start of the 2017 season, Suzuki has tagged righties for a 33.0% hard-hit and 45.6% fly-ball rate, which has translated to a .342 wOBA and .209 ISO.
