Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – June 17

Jon Niese

San Francisco Giants (Cain) at Chicago White Sox (Danks)

I’m avoiding both pitchers here tonight. Cain is mediocre and Danks, while he has pitched better of late, is getting a team that is tied for fifth in the National League in wRC+ against lefties this year.

The Giants have their fair share of players that have hit lefties well this year but Brandon Crawford leads the team in wRC+ against LHP at 192 (no other position player is above 150). His price and match-up make him nearly a must-start today. Adam Eaton is on a good little tear for the White Sox right now but other than him, there aren’t guys I’m really targeting from this lineup.

Hunter Pence (SF-OF) – $7531

Brandon Crawford (SF-SS) – $5414

Adam Eaton (CWS-OF) – $5892

Adam Dunn (CWS-DH) – $5437
