3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 6/1/18
Tyler Chatwood is walking more batters than he's striking out, and faces an underrated Mets offense. Which other players should you steer clear of on Friday?

Brandon Belt, 1B, San Francisco Giants

FanDuel Price: $3,800

Brandon Belt is enjoying a strong start to his 2018 campaign, slugging an impressive .550 and posting a wOBA above .400 through 52 games.

However, Belt will be playing at home this Friday night, and while that is a good thing for most hitters, it isn't so much the case when you play in AT&T Park. The home of the San Francisco Giants has been the best stadium in baseball in reducing home runs hit by left-handed batters. Belt himself has not been immune to this park factor, as his career-high for homers hit there sits at just eight.

The lefty bat will also be squaring off against Nick Pivetta this Friday. Pivetta has been nasty this year, posting a 3.15 SIERA. And even as a righty, Pivetta has been tremendous against left-handed hitters in his career, holding them to a .304 wOBA, including a 28.8% hard-hit rate. That makes it even harder to justify Belt for tonight's home matchup.
