Tuesday's slate includes the third outings for three young American League hurlers -- Toronto's Shaun Marcum, Tampa Bay's Edwin Jackson and Oakland's Dana Eveland -- who are all off to terrific starts. Marcum experienced enough success last year to become a mixed-league mainstay in 2008, but Jackson and Eveland are still largely unowned in ESPN standard leagues. Let's go to it.

Hitters: Chone Figgins might be hitting better than .400 so far this year, but he belongs on the bench Tuesday. The Angels third baseman is an amazing 0-for-21 versus Rangers right-hander Kevin Millwood. … Jason Varitek is 7-for-18 with a .611 slugging percentage against Cleveland starter Paul Byrd. … Corey Patterson has decimated Pirates right-hander Matt Morris. In 38 at-bats against Morris in his career, Patterson has managed 14 hits -- four of which were home runs -- and 11 RBIs. … Expect to see Nick Punto and Craig Monroe get starts over Mike Lamb and Denard Span, respectively, when the Twins face Detroit lefty Nate Robertson.

Pitchers: Micah Owings is off to a great start, and he draws the offensively challenged Giants on Tuesday. Owings has held the current San Francisco roster to a miserable line of .171/.209/.244 in 41 at-bats. Oh, and three of the club's seven hits off Owings came from the bat of the currently injured Dave Roberts. … Randy Wolf is a good bet for success at home in Petco on Tuesday against a Rockies team that has struggled to score runs this year.

Hitters: With Oakland's Ryan Sweeney ailing, Chris Denorfia has a chance to reclaim some playing time in center field. Denorfia has been reduced to occupying the right-handed side of a platoon but would be a dark-horse, 20-20 candidate as an everyday player. Pick him up while Sweeney is out. … With more walks than strikeouts last year and so far this year, Orioles veteran Steve Trachsel has demonstrated that his days as an effective starter are over. Any starting hitter for the opposition -- the Blue Jays, in Tuesday's case -- is a solid spot start with Trachsel on the mound. … Mike Morse likely will start over Brad Wilkerson in right field when Seattle faces Royals left-hander John Bale. … Twins second baseman Brendan Harris was leading the majors with a .471 batting average as of Saturday. He's also 3-for-6 with a home run in his career against Tigers left-hander Nate Robertson. … Dodgers manager Joe Torre has been criticized for his distribution of playing time in the outfield, but the mess hasn't affected Andre Ethier. He has been one of the league's hottest hitters and is still unowned in the majority of ESPN leagues. … Jonny Gomes should be in Tuesday's lineup since the Rays face a left-hander. This time it's Andy Pettitte, against whom Gomes has had some success in the past.

Pitchers: Twins starter Scott Baker's ERA isn't gaudy, but nine strikeouts against one walk show the 26-year old's excellent command. Don't hesitate to use him against the struggling Tigers on Tuesday. … Ryan Dempster can't be counted on to maintain his torrid pace for long, but it's a good idea to use him while he's pitching so well, especially as flammable Reds starter Josh Fogg will make it easy for Dempster's teammates to supply him with plenty of run support.

Games at Seattle and Tampa are always weatherproof, and Tuesday's forecasts call for clear conditions for the other games.
