3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/20/18
David Price, SP, Boston Red Sox
FanDuel Price: $8,400
David Price may be a popular option for DFS players looking to target a pitcher in the mid-priced tier. However, you are really paying for his name at this point, because Price's 3.89 SIERA and 8.9% swinging-strike rate are thoroughly mediocre.
Price's 41.5% fly-ball rate and 32.5% hard-hit rate allowed do not inspire confidence either.
The Detroit Tigers are a sneakily tough matchup against southpaws like Price, too. The Tigers are top-10 in baseball in xWOBA against left-handed pitching, per Baseball Savant. All of these factors combine to make Price an easy avoid on this evening's big slate.
