Didi Gregorius, SS, New York Yankees

FanDuel Price: $3,100

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Shortstop will be an interesting spot on Thursday evening, and if healthy, Corey Seager could see a lot of ownership against the struggling J.C. Ramirez. Another cheaper option is Troy Tulowitzki, who will face Ubaldo Jimenez and his 7.26 ERA.

After a white-hot first month where he posted a 1.067 OPS, Didi Gregorius of the New York Yankees has cooled a bit. His 14.9% strikeout rate this month is his worst yet, and before last evening, hadn't posted an extra-base hit in the past week.

Why You Should Use Him:

Gregorius and his .344 wOBA has been strong for the Yankees overall this year, and while May was tough and his strikeout rate has been increasing, he's started to rebound slowly. The shortstop has posted an .867 OPS and .220 ISO so far in June.

The Yankees match up with James Shields and the Chicago White Sox tonight, and Shields' last start was a bit scary. He recorded only an 8.2% swinging-strike rate along with only throwing first-pitch strikes 50.0% of the time.

Left-handed hitters have had their way with Shields so far this year, too -- they've posted a .404 wOBA and a .565 slugging percentage off the strength of a 31.6% hard-hit rate and a whopping 55.3% fly-ball rate.
