Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – April 12

Michael Clifford breaks down every MLB matchup to find the best daily fantasy value plays.

Kansas City Royals (Shields) at Minnesota Twins (Nolasco)

James Shields is one of the best pitching match-ups of the day and even with his elite pricing, I have no problem rolling him out in any type of format. I would also look to some of their elite hitters as Ricky Nolasco has looked far from sharp so far this season. It’s probably smart to lean to their left-handed hitters because Nolasco is far more prone to give up longballs to lefties instead of righties.

James Shields (SP) – $19,331

Eric Hosmer (1B) – $6720

Unless it’s a player to help round out some GPP lineups, I’m avoiding the Twins today. I don’t like their hitters matched up against James Shields and even at Nolasco’s cheap price (a shade over $10,000) he’ll be hard-pressed to pay that off.
