Here are theScore's shortstop value rankings for Tuesday, August 30 (all stats exclude Monday's games):
Value Rankings
C | 1B/DH | 2B | SS | 3B | OF | SP
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Tim Anderson (CWS) | at DET | 9 |
| Elvis Andrus (TEX) | vs. SEA | 9 |
| Troy Tulowitzki (TOR) | at BAL | 8 |
Anderson is hitting .352 against lefties this season and will face southpaw Daniel Norris. He comes into this game red-hot, yet still affordable.
Andrus also pounds lefties, hitting .362 off them this season. He too comes into Tuesday seeing the ball well. He will face hard-throwing lefty James Paxton.
Mid-Tier Targets
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Dansby Swanson (ATL) | vs. SD | 7 |
| Francisco Lindor (CLE) | vs. MIN | 7 |
| Matt Duffy (TB) | at BOS | 6 |
Swanson has hit a modest .278 so far in his brief big league career. Considering how low is his price is, he is well-worth taking a flier on against the struggling Edwin Jackson.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Eduardo Nunez (SF) | vs. ARI | 3 |
| Erick Aybar (DET) | vs. CWS | 2 |
| Chris Taylor (LAD) | at COL | 1 |
Nunez will be in tough against RHP Zack Greinke.
