Fantasy Baseball Daily League Sleepers and Value Plays for May 15th

Fantasy Baseball Daily League Sleepers and Value Plays for May 15th

by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)

• P David Price Rays ($12,795, 12.8 % of cap at  Draft Street - Play Now):  For an ace, Price is undervalued, in part because he is facing the Red Sox, but Boston has cooled off some of late and in Price's last game against Boston this season he pitched six innings of one run ball, striking out eight and has an 8-4 overall record with a 2.99 ERA in 16 career starts versus the Red Sox. (Game Time 7:05 pm est)
• P Mike Leake Reds ($8,250, 8.3 % of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): If you are feeling daring, and believe that Mike Leake will step-up his game with his spot in the rotation on the line with Johnny Cueto's pending return looming, then Leake could make for a sneaky play, especially in larger tournaments where it is good to go with a player that most owners will shy away from. Oh yeah, and he is facing the offensively challenged Marlins in their pitcher friendly park. (Game Time 7:10 pm est)
• OF Matt Kemp Dodgers ($87,000, 8.7% of cap at Daily Joust - Play Now): Kemp is still coming at a decent value for a guy who is on a 13 game hitting streak. (Game Time 10:10 pm est)
• OF Josh Hamilton Angels ($5,337, 5.3% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): Hamilton's salary has begun to rise at most sites, but at Draft Street he still has one of the lowest price tags among everyday outfielders. He is 4-for-4 with a home run in his career against the lefty Wade Davis, who has allowed seven or more runs in two of his last three outings (the other one coming against the futile offense of the White Sox).  (Game Time 10:05 pm est)
• 1B Mitch Moreland Rangers  ($87,000, 8.7 % of cap at Daily Joust - Play Now): Moreland's salary has not caught up with his outstanding start to May. Moreland has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games and has five home runs in that span. The LHH Moreland will face the RHP Dan Straily who has allowed 15 runs in his last 15 innings, since being called back up at the end of April. (Game Time 3:35 pm est)
• 2B Howie Kendricks Angels($6,950, 7.0% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): Howie hammered a home run (ok, I don't know if he hammered it, but at least he hit one) Tuesday night as he went 3-for-4 with an RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base, his first hits in three games after having a seven game hit streak where he had three multi-hit games. Despite that short three game slump, Kendricks is hitting .278 with five home runs (tied for 2nd most among all second baseman) in the last 30 days and is 3-for-7 vs. Wade Davis in his career. (Game Time 10:05 pm est)
• 1B/DH Adam Dunn White Sox  ($5,000, 5.0 % of cap at Star Street - Play Now ): Dunn has been making better contact in his last couple games as he was robbed of a home run on Monday, but would not be denied on Tuesday. The lefty Dunn gets another favorable matchup today versus the righty Mike Pelfrey who has a home ERA of 5.14 and lefties are batting a robust .342 against him on the season.  (Game Time 1:10 pm est)
• 3B Pablo Sandoval Giants ($8,950, 9.0% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): I like Sandoval in Rogers Centre against the unimposing RHP Ramon Oritz. In his career, on average, Sandoval has hit a home run once every 24 at-bats vs RHP compared to once every 45 at-bats vs LHP.   (Game Time 7:07 pm est)
• 3B Aramis Ramirez Brewers ($8,689, 8.7% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): Many of these BvP stats are arbitaroy due to such small sample sizes, but with Ramirez we get one that is a little more predictable based on a larger sample size. Ramirez is 20-for-51 (.392) with two home runs, two doubles, and a triple off of Wandy Rodriguez in his career. (Game Time 7:05 pm est)
