Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Picks and Lineup – April 6

Cincinnati Reds (Simon) at New York Mets (Niese)

Alfredo Simon will be making his first start since 2011 and that seems to make a good opportunity for the Mets today. Considering he hasn’t pitched more than three innings in a game since that year, I don’t know that he goes very long. The Reds haven’t done very well against Jonathon Niese in the last two years with just six earned runs scored in 20 innings pitched.

Ryan Ludwick (OF) – $5014

Brandon Phillips (2B) – $5235

Closer (for now) JJ Hoover gave up a walk off grand slam yesterday and with Simon probably not able to go very deep, the Reds will likely be relying on a depleted bullpen today. Check lineups beforehand, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a Mets stack in a GPP for those wanting to go off the board a little bit.

David Wright (3B) – $8386

Juan Lagares (OF) – $5871
