Fantasy baseball advice: MLB FanDuel lineup advice for Tuesday, June 9

As for what we're going to be doing in this space: The goal here will be to direct your attention toward some players who you might not otherwise consider. If you're here and reading this, then you already know that Mike Trout is really good. But when filling out a roster you can't just pick out stars. You'll blow your cap that way and get stuck praying to the baseball gods that a guy like Wilmer Flores actually gets a few hits. No, if you want to win, you have to take advantage of certain matchups -- and in order to do that you have to know where to look. That's what we're here for. Below is the lineup I'll be using for Tuesday, June 9.

Corey Kluber, Indians ($11,100): The reigning American League Cy Young winner has rediscovered his form. He's thrown 40 innings over his last five starts. In those games he's whiffed 59 batters while walking just three (!) and surrendering only nine earned runs. Making Kluber an even better play is the team he'll be facing Tuesday night. The Mariners have struggled all season against righthanders, which Kluber is. Their 24 percent strikeout rate against righties is second-worst in the majors and their .667 OPS is third from the bottom. Translation: expect a dominant performance from Kluber, one that validates the decision to break the bank.

Buster Posey, Giants ($3,600): Always the best bet at catcher, Posey will also be facing a rookie on Tuesday in Mets hurler Noah Syndergaard. Syndergaard had been great all season but got bombed in his last start against the Padres. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back after experiencing failure for the first time. Also, Posey is hitting 291/.369/.456 this season against righthanders.

Adrian Gonzalez, Dodgers ($3,700): He's facing 23-year-old Diamondbacks left-handed pitcher, Robbie Ray. Yes, Gonzalez is also a lefty, but he's had no problem facing southpaws this season (.340/.373/.553) and should fare well against a pitcher who's started just 11 games in the major leagues.

Ruben Tejada, Mets ($2,700): The dude just continues to hit. Per Fangraphs, Tejada has been hitting line drives nearly 31 percent of the time (a number that would be second in baseball) since becoming a full-time player two weeks ago. He also has an .371 on-base percentage over that span and has hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games.

Maikel Franco, Phillies ($3,100): One of the few bright spots in Philly this season. Franco, just 22, has an .854 OPS over the past month and in that span he's hit six home runs and driven in 16 runs. He's even hotter of late, as four of those homers have come in the last seven days.

Carlos Correa, Astros ($2,200): Correa, the No. 1 pick in the 2012 Draft and one of the top prospects in all of baseball, was finally called up by Houston this week and responded with a hit and an RBI in his MLB debut. In 53 combined games at AA and AAA this season he hit .335 with 21 doubles, 10 home runs, 44 RBI and 18 stolen bases, so we know he can hit. We might not be sure yet whether can at the major league level, but at $2,200, he's worth betting on.

Cameron Maybin, Padres ($3,200): He's as hot a hitter as there is in baseball right now. Maybin has collected multiple hits in his last five games and eight of his last 10. That's insane when you think about it. Padres hurler James Shields, who Maybin will face on Tuesday, has a good ERA (3.58), but his FIP (4.30) shows that he's been getting lucky all season. Maybin should be able to take advantage.

Ichiro Suzuki, Marlins ($2,500): Yes, he's still playing, and yes, he's really old. So why go with him? Because he's got 26 hits in 56 career at-bats against Mark Buehrle, the pitcher he'll be facing on Tuesday. Buehrle also struggles against left-handed batters (despite being a lefty himself) -- they're hitting .306/.513/.351 against him this season. And guess what? Ichiro, a left-handed batter, also fairs better against left-handed pitchers -- he's hitting .367/.424/.467 against them this season. With Kluber in this lineup, some bargain plays are needed. Ichiro is one of them.

Rajai Davis, Tigers ($2,900): Davis, who is hitting .271/.352/.500 against lefthanders this season, will likely get the start against Jon Lester. But Davis's bat is not why he's worth a play on Tuesday night. Lester, you'll remember, has trouble holding runners -- the 15 stolen bases he's allowed this season is second in baseball. If Davis finds a way to get on-base, he should be able to swipe a bag or two -- or more.
