5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/19/17
Jonathan Lucroy, C, Texas Rangers
FanDuel Price: $3,000
Jonathan Lucroy's production has been pretty underwhelming in 2017, but he has posted some big numbers in his small 24-plate-appearance sample against left-handed pitching. That comes as little surprise with his career .362 wOBA and .198 isolated slugging (ISO) against southpaws.
Tonight's matchup is an especially good one, as Daniel Norris isn't just a left-handed hurler, but he's a lefty that has really struggled this season.
Norris owns a 4.96 SIERA through seven starts (and a similarly unimpressive 4.40 SIERA over his career), while he's allowing a huge 44.8% hard-hit rate -- a number that jumps to 45.6% if we just look at his performance against right-handed hitters.
