Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – May 2

Michael Clifford breaks down every matchup of the night to find the top daily fantasy baseball value plays.

Arizona Diamondbacks (Arroyo) at San Diego Padres (Cashner)

Arroyo not an option tonight, even in San Diego. It’s not a very good situation for the Diamondbacks’ hitters either. I’ll probably just avoid this team altogether tonight. The only really reliable hitter is Goldschmidt and going into San Diego isn’t a very good time to rely on him.

For those looking to avoid the big name pitchers – Felix too expensive, Strasburg/Lee pitching against each other – Cashner is probably the next-best options. He will probably be widely owned but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Right-handers have been killing Arroyo so far in this early season though so I’m hoping that continues for GPP purposes.

Andrew Cashner (SP) – $18,570

Xavier Nady (OF) – $5308

Nick Hundley (C) – $3890

Good luck and here’s today’s lineup!
