3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/31/18
Tim Anderson, SS, Chicago White Sox
FanDuel Price: $2,800
At the top of the Chicago White Sox's lineup with the platoon advantage against Kansas City Royals starter Danny Duffy, Tim Anderson could look pretty tantalizing at his price point. But a deep dive into his 2018 stats may cause you to look elsewhere up the middle.
With 14 homers and 21 steals on the year, Anderson possesses a solid power-speed combo. But his advanced numbers in this split leave more to be desired as he owns a .308 wOBA and middling 33.3% hard-hit rate off of lefties.
Like Springer, he's also in a bit of a slump, with 2 hits in his last 21 at-bats, and he has just 1 home run in his last 114 plate appearances.
