3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/27/17
Luis Perdomo, SP, San Diego Padres
FanDuel Price: $7,800
Even with just 10 starters to choose from and Luis Perdomo pitching at Petco against the New York Mets, it's hard to trust him tonight.
Perdomo's season-long numbers -- 18.1% strikeout rate, 8.7% walk rate and 9.2% swinging-strike rate -- look decent enough, but he's in the midst of a skid. The San Diego Padres' righty hasn't posted a single-game swinging-strike rate of more than 9.3% in any of his past four outings.
After a nice start, Perdomo has gotten progressively worse each month.
| Month | Strikeout Rate | Walk Rate | xFIP |
|---|---|---|---|
| March/April | 18.3% | 5.6% | 3.47 |
| May | 22.5% | 7.5% | 3.78 |
| June | 16.0% | 12.6% | 4.30 |
| July | 11.9% | 7.5% | 4.69 |
Our models have Perdomo slotted in as the night's sixth-best arm. He's not appealing in cash games, and he doesn't have the upside we need in tournaments.
