Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – April 17

April 17, 2014

Michael Clifford looks at every MLB matchup to find the best daily fantasy baseball value plays.

Kansas City Royals (Shields) at Houston Astros (Feldman)

Shields is probably my favourite pitching target for today so I will have him in most of my lineups, GPP or not. I don’t like most of their hitters though except for Alex Gordon; he’s 6-for-18 in his career against Feldman (with a couple stolen bases against him, too).

James Shields (SP) – $18,772

Alex Gordon (OF) – $5589

I will be avoiding the Astros almost completely today, though Feldman is probably a good start for those looking for an off-the-board GPP option.

Good luck and here’s today’s lineup!
