Alex Gordon, OF, Kansas City Royals

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Alex Gordon has been very solid against right-handed pitching over his career, slashing .271/.354/.438 with a .345 wOBA and .167 ISO.

This season has been his worst from the dish since 2010, but he is also hitting better than his numbers indicate. His .289 BABIP is well below his .318 career average, and that number comes despite his career-high 37.4% hard-hit rate and 15.9% soft-hit rate, both of which fall below his career average.

He is in a good spot tonight versus Andrew Cashner. Cashner is sporting career-highs in ERA (4.92) and SIERA (4.69) this season, and he is coming off of a 2015 campaign that saw him post his second-highest SIERA (a 4.00) and third-highest ERA (4.34). He has an ugly 4.88 xFIP against left-handed hitters on the season.
