4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 8/4/17
Madison Bumgarner has a great matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but hasn't looked the same since coming off the disabled list. Who else should you consider fading in tonight's FanDuel contests?

Nicholas Castellanos, 3B, Detroit Tigers

FanDuel Price: $2,700

What has gotten into Kevin Gausman?

In the month of July, he had a 3.17 SIERA and 31.0% strikeout rate across six starts, which isn't exactly what you would expect looking at that ugly 5.37 ERA this year. Over that span, he has a 15.3% swinging-strike rate, which is higher than anyone else on the slate. That's right, better than Paxton, deGrom and Darvish.

That isn't good news for the visiting Detroit Tigers, who possess a middle-of-the-road 4.40 implied team total. While you might still consider Jim Adduci as a punt at his dirt cheap price, you're otherwise better off fading these Tigers. That includes Nicholas Castellanos, who has that lovely 46.8% hard-hit rate, but is susceptible to strikeouts (24.2%).
