Detroit starting Dixon Machado on Thursday afternoon

Detroit Tigers infielder Dixon Machado will start on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants.

What It Means:

Machado is starting at shortstop for the Tigers and batting ninth in Thursday's series finale against the Giants. Jose Iglesias is available off the bench.

The Tigers have an implied total of 5.39 runs in a matchup with an encouraging over/under (10.5), so they have an attractive lineup for DFS purposes, but Machado might not be the best investment. numberFire's models project him to score only 6.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,300 on Thursday.
