Fantasy Baseball Daily League Sleepers and Value Plays for May 21th

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="350"] Wandy will be a Dandy tonight![/caption]
  • P Wandy Rodriguez Pirates ($7,000, 20.3% of cap at Fan Duel - Play Now): Wandy has been a dandy of late at home (3-1, 1.35 ERA in four starts). The Pirates may be able to provide some run support tonight as Matt Garaz makes his first strat since coming off the disabled list, and as is often the case like we saw with Johnny Cueto Monday, pitchers often times have trouble with their command in their first starts back and the Pirates are tied for fourth in the National League in home runs hit off of right-handed pitching. As for Wandy, the Cubs have lowest Road team batting average of any team in the majors. (Game Time 7:05 pm est)
  • OF Dayan Viciedo White Sox ($7,500, 7.5% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now  ): Viciedo is 3-for-5 with a home run off the struggling Felix Doubront, is batting .375 with two home runs in the last seven days, and  is hitting .356 the last three seasons combined against lefties. (Game Time: 8:10 pm est)
  • OF Dexter Fowler Rockies ($6,900, 11.5% of cap at Fan Throwdown - Play Now): Fowler is on fire .344, but it has been kind of an empty .344 with only two extra base hit in last 32 at-bats, but seven of his eight home runss have come off of RHP.
  • OF Jason Kubel Diamondbacks ($3,400, 9.8% of cap at Fan Duel - Play Now  ): I'm sticking with the LHH Jason Kubel tonight who is 3-for-4 versus the RHP Jhoulys Chacin.  (Game Time 8:40 pm est)
  • C Jarrod Saltalamacchia Red Sox ($59,000, 5.9% of cap at Daily Joust - Play Now): I like Brian McCann the most at catcher, but if you are looking to save some money Salty has the third most hits of any catcher in the month of May and is hitting .333 with 2 home runs this month.  (11% of cap) or Royals Sal Perez (8-9% of cap). (Game Time 8:10 pm est)
  • 3B Eric Chavez Diamondbacks ($7,450, 7.5% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): Delivered last night for us going 3-for-5 with a triple and a run scored, hopefully he didn't tire himself legging out a triple and he provides again batting from the clean up spot. (Game Time 10:10 pm est)
  • 2B Josh Rutledge Rockies ($77,000, 7.7% of cap at Daily Joust - Play Now):  Rutledge is 3-for-11 with a home run and a double in his career versus Ian Kennedy and three of Rutledge's five home runs have come at Coors. If you are a believer in Day/Night splits, Rutledge is hitting .287 in night games compared to just .143 in day games. (Game Time 8:40 pm est)
  • SS/2B Jurickson Profar Rangers ($7,050, 7.1.% of cap at Draft Street - Play Now): Profar was hitless in his first start since being called up, but had two RBI. We all know his potential, which is enticing enough, but at this value it seems like a no-brainer of a selection.(Game Time 8:05 pm est)
Team to Stack: If you are looking for  team to make mini-stacks from consider the abundant of left-handed hitting Yankees vs Orioles RHP Freddy Garcia or DBacks vs Rockies Jon Garland and his 16.7% HR/FB rate on the season (game is in Coors).
