Alex Gordon starting in left on Friday for Kansas City

Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is in Friday's starting lineup as his club gets set to take on the Texas Rangers in Kansas City.

What It Means:

In a big down year, Gordon has been in and out of the Royals' lineup. Tonight, he's batting at the bottom of the order against lefty Martin Perez.

In 2017, Gordon has 0 home runs and a .280 wOBA in 83 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching. Despite the low price of $2,500, Gordon is a risky selection as he sports a projection of 7.7 FanDuel points.
