3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 4/21/17
Adam Jones, OF, Baltimore Orioles
FanDuel Price: $3,800
Sometimes it's easy to forget that the oft-injured Drew Pomeranz can be quite good when on the mound. Last season, he had a 3.80 SIERA and a 26.5% strikeout rate.
While he's always shown a strong ability to strikeout lefties, he showed a great deal of improvement against right-handers last year, striking them out at an elite 28.0% rate.
So, despite having the platoon advantage against Pomeranz, the right-handed Adam Jones is in a tough spot. Furthermore, Jones has surprisingly struckout more often against southpaws, striking out at a 21.5% clip last year.
In all, there are better players to target at outfielder, particularly at Jones' rather high price point.
