Daily Fantasy Baseball DFS Value Update and Lineup – May 23

Ian Kinsler

Minnesota Twins (Gibson) at San Francisco Giants (Lincecum)

Gibson has three blow-ups in his last five outings so I’ll stay away from him tonight. I’m not sure what to make of this lineup against Lincecum tonight so I might just take a risk on Brian Dozier and leave the rest of the lineup alone.

Brian Dozier (2B) – $8184

Tim Lincecum is way to hit or miss to rely on in cash games almost regardless of his match-up. I’ll avoid him for tonight. Other than Sandoval, I’m not going crazy on the Giants hitters tonight. I’ll have Sandoval in a lot of GPP lineups and possibly Sanchez if he gets the start behind the plate in place of Buster Posey tonight (though we may not know before lineups lock at 7 EDT).

Pablo Sandoval (3B) – $6215

Hector Sanchez (C) – $4875

Good luck and here’s today’s lineup!
