It could be a stop-and-go play. If the board comes out dry and relatively safe, they may jam on the flop which is definitely a +EV play.
But I've also seen players in low stakes adapt to this by jamming on the flop with a made hand. They're aware that some thinking players may assume that it's a stop and go and that you haven't made your hand. So therefore it would also be +EV to exploit thinking players this way, who are aware of the stop-and-go play.
It all comes down to the information you have on the player.
If it's a tricky player, then it's probably best to throw your hand away unless you caught something.

OP said mid to low stack. It might not be enough to pick up what's out there.
Big stacks are more apt to look you up preflop than call a flop shove with air. The stop and go is probably a better route.
