5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 4/17/17
Dansby Swanson, SS, Atlanta Braves
FanDuel Price: $2,800
Dansby Swanson is not a high-floor option despite hitting second for the Atlanta Braves this season, but getting off to a slow start hasn't helped, either.
His hard-hit rate still sits at 32.6% through 195 career plate appearances, though. That mark doesn't fall off much against righties (31.9%), and while those aren't elite numbers, they're still pretty reasonable considering his price.
Hitting high in the order gives him a nice boost in upside -- the Braves boast a 4.70 implied total (best on the main slate) against San Diego Padres righty Jered Weaver, who struggled to the tune of a 5.44 SIERA and a 5.61 xFIP last year, along with a .365 wOBA against right-handed hitters.
