Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Picks and Lineup – April 5

San Francisco Dodgers (Bumgarner) at Los Angeles Dodgers (Maholm)

Madison Bumgarner had a very rough outing in his first start of the year as a pile of unearned runs forced him out of the game after the fourth inning. Not to worry, he went fewer than five innings just twice last year so that shouldn’t be a concern. Also, Bumgarner has a 1.50 ERA over the last two years and five starts against the Dodgers. There are a couple of nice plays for their hitters, too.

Hunter Pence (OF) – $6091

Angel Pagan (OF) – $6862

Madison Bumgarner (SP) – $17,850

Not surprisingly, none of the Dodgers have very good numbers against Bumgarner, so I’ll avoid them for this one. I would probably avoid Paul Maholm as well because the Giants have done exceptionally well in his last couple outings against that team (10 earned runs in 9.2 innings over two starts).

Dee Gordon (SS) – $4534
