PITTSBURGH, PA – APRIL 02: Brian Dozier /

Second Basemen

There isn’t much depth at second base, which is surprising. Several of the top players at the position are on the shelf, which hurts, or on the late slate. Ozzie Albies ($5,100) is even in play, though he’s been cooling off after scorching baseballs earlier in the week.

Whit Merrifield has hit two home runs off the Tigers this season and is averaging 6.6 DKFP per contest in eight games against their division rivals.

Top Tier

Brian Dozier ($4,600), vs. James Shields

Dozier’s splits heavily favor being on the road, where he’s hit all five home runs this season and has a .284 ISO. He’s anchored the Twins lineup against Shields in the past, carrying a 12 for 36 line with five doubles, four home runs and 10 RBI.

Others: Whit Merrifield ($3,900)

Value

Alen Hanson ($3,100), vs. Mike Soroka

Hanson is coming off a season-best 25 DKFP. The sample size is small, having only played seven games, but he has been good and is averaging 10.7 DKFP per game.

Others: Gleyber Torres ($3,500)
