Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – April 20

San Francisco Giants (Lincecum) at San Diego Padres (Erlin)

I suppose if there were ever a time to start Tim Lincecum, it would be in Petco Park against the Padres. He did very well against them last year (seven earned runs in 28.1 innings) with a pile of strikeouts (35 in 28.1). His price is a little high for my liking, but he’s probably going to be worth it. I will be avoiding their hitters against Robbie Erlin, though.

Tim Lincecum (SP) – $16,380

Robbie Erlin has been absolutely lights out for the Padres so far this year; Erlin has 14 strikeouts in 11.1 innings so far this year with just one walk. I will have Erlin in every single lineup I make today, his price and situation is just too good. There are some nice value hitters against Lincecum today, too.

Robbie Erlin (SP) – $11,304

Seth Smith (OF) – $4371

Everth Cabrera (SS) – $4111
