Ian Kinsler, 2B, Detroit Tigers

FanDuel Price: $4,200

In his age-34 season, Ian Kinsler is having one of the best years of his career. Hitting atop the Tigers' lineup, he's sporting a .363 wOBA with 18 jacks and 9 steals. The 18 long balls are his most since 2011, when he blasted 32 home runs. Kinsler's 34.3% hard-hit rate is a career-best clip.

Kinsler has been at his best this season when he's been at home against a lefty, which is exactly what's on tap tonight as he takes on Minnesota Twins' southpaw Tommy Milone at Comerica Park. The Tigers' second baseman boasts a .412 wOBA against left-handers, and that mark creeps up to .416 in home games.

Milone, with a 4.69 SIERA, is having the worst year of his career. He owns a 15.3% whiff rate and career-worst 7.7% walk rate. He's giving up a .365 wOBA to right-handed hitters, and Detroit has an implied total of 5.41 runs.
