4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/19/16

Brian McCann, C, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $3,000

This is a game for which you should keep an eye on the weather, but not because of rain. As of Thursday morning, the wind was expected to be blowing out to right field at a whopping 17 miles per hour. If that's what it looks like at first pitch, it'll be time to dabble heavily in a usually pitcher-friendly park.

The top guy who could benefit from that is New York Yankees catcher Brian McCann. He's holding a 37.7% hard-hit rate this year and a 44.3% fly-ball rate, though his strikeouts have ticked up a bit to 20.4%. It's that fly-ball rate that intrigues us with this potential weather, and the matchup doesn't hurt, either.

Oakland Athletics starter Kendall Graveman looked like a new pitcher at the start of the year with some increased velocity, but he's taken a step back of late. His last four starts have featured a 13.7% strikeout rate, a mark low enough to push his season-long SIERA up to 4.46. Graveman has shown an ability to keep the ball on the ground his first few years, but if McCann or any of the Yankees' other lefties are able to get a hold of a ball, the wind may do the rest of the work.
