Dee Gordon, 2B, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Dee Gordon isn't going to wow you from the dish, though he's slashing .301/.352/.383 with a .322 wOBA against right-handed pitching this year, which isn't exactly terrible.

It's his ability to do damage on the basepaths that gives him plenty of fantasy upside. He has 21 stolen bases in 61 games this season, tied for the second-most in the majors.

Getting on base is obviously an important part of being able to pick up a steal, and Gordon shouldn't have much of a problem with that today against Oakland Athletics righty Jharel Cotton, who has a 5.00 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) on the season, as well as a 5.71 xFIP with a hefty 12.8% walk rate against left-handed hitters.

A's catcher Stephen Vogt has also allowed a league-high 35 stolen bases, despite only having played 288 innings, which ranks 25th among catchers.
