5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/5/17
Matt Adams owns a 42.5% hard-hit rate in 2017 and offers plenty of upside tonight against Phillies' righty Nick Pivetta. Who else should you target for big-time fantasy value on Monday?

Matt Adams, 1B, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $2,700

The Atlanta Braves offense is a strong one to target tonight, as they boast the day's highest implied total (5.13) in a matchup with righty Nick Pivetta and the Philadelphia Phillies.

Pivetta only has four big league starts to his name (all this season), but he hasn't looked especially good thus far, posting a 4.31 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), with a shaky 10.0% walk rate, a hard-hit rate north of 40% and a swinging strike rate below 9%.

Matt Adams has opened 2017 with a .347 wOBA on a career-best 42.5% hard-hit rate through 111 plate appearances. He has done his best work against right-handed pitching over his career (.350 wOBA, .200 isolated slugging, 37.9% hard-hit rate, 13.2% soft-hit rate), and he should be able to take advantage of Monday's matchup.
