Mikie Mahtook starting, playing DH for Tigers on Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Mikie Mahtook is starting on Friday against the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Mahtook will make a rare appearance as Detroit's designated hitter on Friday versus right-hander Carson Fulmer and the White Sox. He will work out of the eight-hole while Ian Kinsler moves to second base and Andrew Romine heads to the Tigers' bench.

numberFire's models project Mahtook to score 8.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,800 on Friday. With a solid implied total (4.84 runs) and Fulmer (14.4 walk percentage) on the opposing mound, the Tigers could offer some upside worth looking into.
