Travis Jankowski, OF, San Diego Padres

FanDuel Price: $3,000

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Any time the San Diego Padres are at home, they tend get overlooked. Historically, Petco Park has been one of the tougher run-scoring environments in baseball, and even though the park hasn't played that way in 2016, the stigma is still there.

Why You Should Use Him:

Travis Jankowski and the Padres will take their hacks against Archie Bradley, whose walk rate is 12.2% in the second half of the year. Jankowski's speed is one of his biggest assets as he steals a bag roughly once out of every 10 at-bats (25 in 247 in 2016). Given the amount of runners Bradley is putting on, Jankowski may have a chance to swipe some bags.

In addition, Bradley has a particularly tough time with lefties. He is allowing .415 wOBA with a 40.6% hard-hit rate to southpaws.
