5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/6/17
Lucas Duda, 1B, New York Mets
FanDuel Price: $2,900
The New York Mets have the day's third-highest implied total (5.14) on the road at the hitter-friendly Globe Life Park in a matchup against Dillon Gee and the Texas Rangers, yet their bats seem to be underpriced.
Gee has only pitched 6 2/3 innings this year, but he's coming off a 2016 season that saw him post a shaky 4.60 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), while allowing a .357 wOBA and 5.23 xFIP to left-handed hitters.
Lucas Duda has an excellent .402 wOBA through 140 plate appearances this season, with a 42.7% hard-hit rate, 13.3% soft-hit rate and 44.0% fly-ball rate against right-handed pitching, and he offers a ton of upside in this matchup.
