5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/8/17

Justin Smoak, 1B, Toronto Blue Jays

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Not a lot of players have been hitting the ball as well as Justin Smoak lately. Over 300 hitters have at least 10 batted balls over the last 15 days, and Smoak ranks 17th in average exit velocity. He's also sporting a 45.2% hard-hit rate with only a 5.1% soft-hit rate during that time.

The switch-hitting first baseman has done his best work against right-handed pitching over his career (including posting a 43.3% hard-hit rate in 2016). That gives him a boost against Cleveland Indians righty Trevor Bauer, who has allowed a huge .390 wOBA on a 43.6% hard-hit rate to left-handed hitters to start the 2017 season.
