5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/5/17
Chris Iannetta, C, Arizona Diamondbacks
FanDuel Price: $3,000
With the Arizona Diamondbacks traveling to Coors Field to take on the Colorado Rockies, you're going to want some fantasy exposure to this game and its big 11.0 over/under.
The Rockies will be starting German Marquez on the mound, who hasn't been especially intimidating through his eight Major League games (five starts), posting a 4.05 SIERA. And the Diamondbacks' 5.53 implied total is the day's highest mark.
Chris Iannetta's no killer from the dish, but his 45.5% fly-ball rate (42.5% over his career) does give him some home run upside at Coors where the ball is going to carry, and the bulk of his fantasy appeal comes simply from the fact that he's a $3k bat at Coors that is likely to be hitting near the middle of the order.
