Victor Martinez, C, Detroit Tigers

FanDuel Price: $3,600

The Tigers are a team to zero in on for their matchup with right-hander James Shields. As our own Jim Sannes detailed in today’s stacks piece, Shields has been using some kind of black magic in recent starts.

Yes, Shields owns a 1.71 ERA over his past three outings, but he’s posted an ugly 5.34 SIERA with a meager 12.4% strikeout rate in that span. Regression is coming, and it could come in a big way tonight.

Martinez is the Antonio Gates of baseball. He’s 37, and he just keeps producing. Martinez is mashing to the tune of a .351 wOBA, .177 ISO,and 17 bombs. A switch hitter, he boasts a .345 wOBA with a superb 42.7% hard-hit rate versus righties.

Detroit has the highest non-Coors implied total of the day (5.45). Hitting behind Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler, Martinez is in a great spot to do some damage.
