Fantasy Baseball Daily League Sleepers, Value Plays, and MLB Daily Lineup Decisions for June 2nd
by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)
                     Cardinals SP Tyler LyonsToday's Discounts:- P Tyler Lyons Cardinals ($3,800, 11% of cap at Fan Duel - Play Now): Just 11% of your cap for a pitcher who is 2-0 in his first two career major league starts and has a 1.29 ERA with nine strike outs to just two walks in 14 innings pitched versus a San Francisco Giants team that seems like they couldn't hit a bull with a shovel this weekend. (Lyons is just the fourth pitcher in the last 30 years to go seven or more innings and allow one or fewer runs in their first two major league starts). (Game Time 2:15 pm est)
- OF David Murphy Rangers ($6,573, 6.6% of cap at Draft Day - Play Now): Murphy's price tag has dropped some at Draft Day, you get the L/R matchup versus the RHP Ervin Santana who has lost four straight and has almost a five ERA over those four starts. (Game Time 3:05 pm est)
- OF Chris Dickerson Orioles ($85,000, 8.5% of cap at  Daily Joust - Play Now): Dickerson is hitting .333 with all four home runs off of right-handed pitching this season. (Game Time: 1:35 pm est)
- OF Andy Dirks Tigers ($7,314, 7.3% of cap at  Draft Street - Play Now): Tori Hunter makes his return to the Tigers lineup and will bat second behind Dirks, which may help Dirks see some good pitches to hit. Dirks has nine extra-base hits versus right-handed pitching including four home runs, has an OBP of .315 vs. RHP and Vegas expects this game to be another high scoring affair (10.5 over/under). (Game Time 1:35 pm est)
- 1B Matt Adams Cardinals ($60,000, 6.0% of cap at Daily Joust - Play Now) : I am expecting the left-handed hitting Matt Adams to be more PHAT than Fat Adams today versus the righty Chad Gaudin.  (Game Time 2:15 pm est)
- SS/3B Ramiro Pena Braves ($5,400, 5.4% of cap at  Draft Day - Play Now): The switch-hitting Pena is batting second today in the Braves lineup against the Nationals Nathan Karns, who is making just his second start of the season. (Thanks to fellow Fantasy Guru at RotoInfo.com for bringing Pena to my attention today. Follow Matthew on twitter here @MatthewRBeck) (Game Time: 1:35 pm est).
- 3B Juan Uribe Dodgers  ($65,000, 6.5% of cap at  Daily Joust - Play Now): Uribe is 7-for-14 in the last seven days and he gets the R/L matchup with the game in hitter friendly Coors. (Game Time 4:10  pm est)
- C Erik Kratz Phillies ($4,400, 7.3% of cap at Fan Throwdown - Play Now): Kratz is hitting .313 with two home runs in his last 16 at-bats and is 1-for-2 with a home run off of Brewers Mike Fiers. (Game Time 1:355  pm est)
