Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – May 19

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg

Houston Astros (Keuchel) at Los Angeles Angels (Richards)

Keuchel has, so far this year anyway, maintained reverse splits for a lefty pitcher; he has a .332 wOBA against lefties and .282 wOBA against righties. That’s important because the Angels don’t really have much from the left side of the plate. I won’t risk Keuchel because I think there are better options at his price tonight but he could make a nice GPP play. I’m avoiding most Astros hitters, too.

Dexter Fowler (OF) – $5131

Garrett Richards is the most expensive pitcher on the board tonight and there’s a reason for that; he’s striking out over a batter per inning and gets the Houston Astros tonight. The fact that he’s almost more than $1K over the price of Strasburg, though, is a bit much for me to handle. I’ll avoid Richards tonight. I’m not excited about the Angels facing Keuchel either, but with only so many games on the slate, it can’t be avoided.

Mike Trout (OF) – $9669

C.J. Cron (1B) – $5353
