5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Value Plays for 5/12/17
Tommy Pham, OF, St. Louis Cardinals
FanDuel Price: $2,800
The St. Louis Cardinals offense is another one that draws an excellent matchup tonight, as the Chicago Cubs will be giving Eddie Butler his first major league start of the season.
Butler has a 1.17 ERA through five Triple-A starts this year, but his 5.11 xFIP in those games is more than a little bit concerning, especially considering his career 5.06 SIERA over three seasons in the majors.
Tommy Pham has an excellent .370 wOBA and 44.1% hard-hit rate against right-handed pitching over his young career, and he has been absolutely crushing the ball recently. He ranks top 20 in both average exit velocity and batted-ball distance (min. 10 batted balls) over the past 15 days.
