Joe Mauer, 1B, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $2,700

One of my favorite pitchers to go after in daily fantasy, Mike Pelfrey, is starting for the Tigers tonight, meaning Twins hitters are in a great spot.

Pelfrey has a career 4.70 SIERA, with a 5.18 on the season so far, and has allowed a career .351 wOBA to lefties with a 4.95 xFIP and 12.2 percent strikeout rate.

Joe Mauer hasn't been blowing anyone away this season but has a decent .330 wOBA to start the year. He has always hit righties well with a career .383 wOBA, .160 ISO, and 11.4 percent strikeout rate.

The Twins have the third-highest implied total on tonight's main slate, and hitting leadoff against Pelfrey, Mauer is a huge value.
