5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/17/17
Ian Happ, 2B, Chicago Cubs
FanDuel Price: $2,300
Despite a strong start to his major league career -- including two home runs in three games -- Ian Happ remains priced barely above minimum salary.
Three games obviously isn't enough to draw any real conclusions, but he also looked excellent from the dish in Triple-A this year with a .411 wOBA in 116 plate appearances
What makes him really interesting, though, is that he will likely be hitting near the top of the order for a Chicago Cubs team that boasts a massive 6.39 implied total. The forecast calls for warm weather and strong winds blowing out in Wrigley, while the Cubs also draw a good matchup against Cincinnati Reds righty Scott Feldman and his 4.63 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA).
