Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – April 13

Michael Clifford breaks down every MLB game to identify the best daily fantasy value plays.

Washington Nationals (Gonzalez) at Atlanta Braves (Harang)

Gio Gonzalez is one of the top priced pitchers today but I think I’d rather stay away. Tossing against pretty much this exact lineup last year, Gonzalez gave up 17 earned runs in 30 innings with a WHIP of an even 1.40 (and it wasn’t much better the year before against the Braves). There are some nice values against Aaron Harang, though.

Bryce Harper (OF) – $5945

Danny Espinosa (2B) – $3916

As per usual, I’m avoiding Aaron Harang. There isn’t much for highly-successful hitters against Gio, but that also leads to good values, too.

Evan Gattis (C) – $5169

Andrelton Simmons (SS) – $5068
