All 30 MLB teams are scheduled to be in action during Tuesday's evening slate. These players are best positioned to provide value based on a combination of price, matchup and venue…
PITCHER
Jose Urena, MIA at OAK ($26): Urena has significantly outperformed his 1-2 record, posting a 1.91 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. The reliever turned starter is averaging 16.4 fantasy points per game in his last three appearances, and each of those came against teams averaging at least .59 runs per game more than Oakland's 4.00. His lack of strikeouts should also be remedied by facing a lineup that strikes out the fifth most in the league at 8.80 times per game.

Matt Shoemaker, LAA at TB ($38): Shoemaker's robust 23.6 percent strikeout rate should rise even further against a Rays team that has whiffed a league-worst 10.52 times per game. He has cruised through White Sox and Tigers lineups that score 4.60 and 4.90 runs per game, respectively, to the tune of 29.2 fantasy points per game in his past two starts, and Tampa Bay falls in between those two at 4.70. Shoemaker's upside rivals that of the night's top options even though he's the 11th-most expensive pitcher.
CATCHER
Miguel Montero, CHC vs. SF ($8): Don't be intimidated by Johnny Cueto, who sports a 4.50 ERA and has allowed multiple runs in each of his first nine starts of the season. Given his .337 wOBA against right-handed pitching, Montero's a solid low-risk, high-reward play here at just $1 above the minimum.
FIRST BASE
Edwin Encarnacion, CLE at CIN ($13): Encarnacion has underwhelmed all around this season, but he's showing some signs of life with two homers, five runs and five RBI in the past five games. His .374 career wOBA and .385 mark last season against left-handed pitching suggest the veteran slugger should be able to keep the good times against his former team and southpaw Amir Garrett. Garrett's 1.80 HR/9 and the Great American Ballpark's 1.13 home run park factor both work in Encarnacion's favor as he looks to add to his career total of 317 long balls.
SECOND BASE
Jace Peterson, ATL vs. PIT ($7): This is as good a time as any to use Peterson. He's getting consistent playing time at third base with Adonis Garcia (Achilles) sidelined, and won't get a better matchup than righty Tyler Glasnow, who has allowed a .421 wOBA to his first 82 left-handed hitters faced this season. Peterson's minimum price valuation is also perfect for owners looking to spend big elsewhere while saving money at the light-hitting second base position.
THIRD BASE
Jake Lamb, ARI vs. CWS ($24): White Sox righty Dylan Covey has posted a 7.64 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through eight starts, suggesting he's going to be worked over by Arizona's talented lineup. Lamb is as primed for a big game as any Diamondback given his .455 wOBA through 131 plate appearances against right-handers this season. Batting clean-up in the league's most-hitter friendly venue further raises the third baseman's value.
SHORTSTOP
Didi Gregorius, NYY vs. KC ($11): The left-handed hitting Gregorius broke the norm by posting a .359 wOBA when facing left-handed pitching and just a .304 mark against righties last season. He has backed up those numbers with a .365 wOBA against southpaws so far in 2017, and is set up to deliver good value at just $11 in this home matchup with Danny Duffy.
OUTFIELD
Rey Fuentes, ARI vs. CWS ($10):A.J. Pollock's groin injury has paved the way for Fuentes' ascent from Triple-A Reno, where he had been slashing .376/.403/.481 with nine steals. While early returns from the center fielder have been mediocre, his affordability compared to most other Arizona hitters makes Fuentes worth a look against Covey. If fellow left-handed hitter Gregor Blanco ($8) earns the start instead, he also makes for a solid play at Chase Field (1.38 park factor).
Lorenzo Cain, KC at NYY ($15): Cain has been dominating left-handed pitching for years, and rookie Jordan Montgomery should be no exception. While the veteran outfielder is off to an uncharacteristically slow start in that split this season, his .405 and .418 wOBAs from 2015 and 2016, respectively suggest he should end up among the league's top performers against lefties by season's end. This matchup at the hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium (1.23 park factor) offers a perfect opportunity to start climbing that leaderboard.
Avisail Garcia, CWS at ARI ($19): The home team isn't the only one primed to benefit from playing at Chase Field, and no White Sox hitter is more dangerous than Garcia. He comes in hot with four multi-hit efforts in the past six games, and has mustered a ridiculous .471 wOBA against left-handed pitching this season. Patrick Corbin is unlikely to provide much resistance given his .360 wOBA allowed to right-handed hitters.
