Michael Clifford breaks down every matchup to find the best daily fantasy baseball value plays to fill out your DraftStreet lineup for April 9.

Cincinnati Reds (Leake) at St. Louis Cardinals (Miller)

As is the case with most pitchers going to St. Louis, Mike Leake is to be avoided at all costs. I won’t even take a gamble on him in GPPs. I would probably stay away from most of their hitters as well, trying to avoid Shelby Miller.

Brayan Pena (C) – $3952

Jay Bruce (OF) – $6604

Shelby Miller was lit up in a couple of starts against Cincinnati last year and he did fare so well in his first outing this year. I will not be taking Miller but will be looking at a couple of bats to light up Leake.

Matt Holliday (OF) – $6631
