3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 9/11/17
The Arizona Diamondbacks have a high implied team total, but lefties like David Peralta aren't in a great spot against Kyle Freeland.

Arizona Diamondbacks leadoff man, David Peralta, tends to stay in the linenup against southpaws, so he should be in there against Kyle Freeland tonight. However, despite a 5.16 implied team total, he's probably better off skipped.

Although he has a 4.84 SIERA, Freeland is notably tougher against his fellow lefties, showing a 28.4% strikeout rate and 3.49 xFIP against them over 35 1/3 innings. It's a small sample size, but even if he's not quite this good against them, it's enough to consider shying away.

Futhermore, Peralta himself hasn't shown much against same-side hurlers this season, garnering just a 22.3% hard-hit rate and 58.5% ground-ball rate.
