4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 6/5/16
David Freese, 1B, Pittsburgh Pirates
FanDuel Price: $2,900
Playing time hasn't been super consistent for David Freese lately, so make sure you check the Pirates' lineup before locking him into yours, but he's a very interesting play today.
He's sporting a .353 wOBA on the season, the third-best mark of his eight-year career, and owns a .291/.374/.424 slash.
Freese has always excelled against left-handed pitching. While his .444 wOBA and .263 ISO against lefties this year isn't a sustainable pace, he has posted a .365 wOBA and .169 ISO versus southpaws over his career, making today's matchup with Los Angeles Angels' starter Hector Santiago an appealing one.
Santiago has a 4.46 SIERA on the season (4.30 SIERS over his career) and has allowed a career .329 wOBA with a 4.84 xFIP against righties.
