Max Kepler, Marwin Gonzalez, Luis Arraez Playing Friday
5 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (shoulder), utility man Marwin Gonzalez (oblique) and second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) are all in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Friday against Yankees lefty James Paxton. Kepler is in center field and is hitting sixth, Gonzalez is in left field and will hit seventh and Arraez is starting at the keystone and is batting ninth. All three players are coming off injuries and are in the lower half of the lineup, so they aren't all that appealing for DFS purposes. Kepler was one of the team's better offensive players during the year, so if you're going to pick one, he'd be the best bet. He actually hit for a better average against left-handers this season, too.
