4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/26/17
Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado Rockies
FanDuel Price: $4,000
It may be tempting fate to list a hitter of Nolan Arenado's quality as a landmine two days in a row, but he's facing another righty killer tonight in Carlos Martinez.
Martinez has been pretty dominant against all comers, although he's particularly deadly against right-handed bats.
| Splits | Strikeout Rate | Walk Rate | wOBA | Hard-Hit Rate | Fly-Ball Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vs. Right-Handed Hitters | 30.1% | 5.3% | .234 | 29.6% | 31.1% |
| Vs. Left-Handed Hitters | 21.1% | 12.4% | .346 | 38.1% | 31.6% |
When he's facing a righty, Martinez turns into Clayton Kershaw, and the Colorado Rockies (3.79) have the third-lowest implied total tonight.
As the cherry on top, Arenado is much better at home (duh) and against left-handed hurlers. On the road, his wOBA sits at .355, compared to his .422 clip in Denver. And he's put up a .336 wOBA off right-handers while mashing lefties for an eye-popping .537 wOBA.
Arenado is the night's most expensive third baseman by $300, but our models project him as the 13th-best option at the hot corner.
