Dustin Fowler, OF, Oakland Athletics

FanDuel Price: $2,300

The Oakland Athletics will once again be a very popular stack, with another 100-degree scorcher at Globe Life Park, granting them a 5.85 implied team total. Bartolo Colon is the next potential victim against this tough Oakland lineup, and considering his underwhelming 4.61 SIERA, 13.7% strikeout rate, and 42.1% hard-hit rate, he could be in for a short night.

Practically the entire lineup is on the table, but a guy like Dustin Fowler ought to receive less attention as the likely number-eight hitter. Fowler isn't quite as valuable since getting dropped down the order, but if the A's go off tonight, that's a tide that lifts all boats, so we shouldn't hesitate to take a flier on him.

Fowler may not have the prettiest numbers in town, but that 42.7% hard-hit rate and 38.7% fly-ball rate against righties is awfully encouraging. He also has 14 stolen bases between the minors and majors this year, which adds some bonus upside.
