Dixon Machado in Tigers' starting lineup versus Royals

Detroit Tigers infielder Dixon Machado is starting on Tuesday versus the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Jose Iglesias is getting what is likely just a standard day off, so Machado will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth versus Royals left-hander Travis Wood, who owns a 15.7 strikeout percentage and 12.4 walk percentage.

The Tigers have an implied total of 5.26 runs in a matchup that seems poised for a lot of scoring due to a high over/under (10.5) and a strong park factor (1.072), so Machado is well worth a look. numberFire's models project him to score 12.2 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,300.
