Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – June 1

Minnesota Twins (Hughes) at New York Yankees (Whitley)

Hughes goes back to New York for his first start since heading to the Twins in the offseason. There really isn’t a lot to fear for the Yankees lineup with Teixeira and Beltran both out now (Tex left the game last night with problems in his surgically-repaired wrist). It’s still Yankee Stadium, though, so I might rather use Hughes in a GPP than cash games.

Eduardo Escobar (SS) – $4874

Chase Whitley is exceedingly cheap and the Minnesota bats have gone pretty cold over the last week and a half. If taking to very expensive pitchers today, it’s not a bad idea to handcuff him with them. Whitley pitched well in the Minors and even five good innings is more than worth his price today.

Chase Whitley (SP) – $8339

Brian Roberts (2B) – $4943
