Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – April 4

Michael Clifford looks at all the best value plays for your daily fantasy baseball lineups.

Cincinnati Reds (Leake) at New York Mets (Mejia)

Someone on Twitter reminded me of this phenomenon last night: Road Mike Leake. For his career, Leake has an ERA over a full run lower on the road (3.45) than at home (4.49). DFSers looking for a cheap option could do much worse. The Reds are having trouble scoring runs so far this year (seven total, six in one game) so I will stay away from them at Citi Field.

Mike Leake (SP) – $12,926

One off-the-radar pitcher that can shut down any team at any time is Jenrry Mejia. At times, he’s shown high-strikeout potential and pitching at home is never a bad thing. I still worry about pitching against the Reds, but he’s not that much more expensive than Mike Leake and could provide a few more strikeouts. Either way, stay away from the bats in this game

Jenrry Mejia (SP) – $13,408
