3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 8/2/18
Even though he has thrived against lefties in his career, Ryan Braun has a tough task on tap with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Who else should we look to avoid?

Jason Vargas, SP, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $5,500

This season has been a bit ugly for left-hander Jason Vargas. Over 42 innings, the veteran has recorded skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) of 4.87, and he is on pace for a career-worst 37.5% hard-hit rate.

Vargas won't get any favors tonight against the Atlanta Braves, who have the fifth-best team weighted on-base average (wOBA) against southpaws with a .337 mark.

With the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees is good hitting spots, it may be tempting to pay down at pitcher, but Vargas can't be trusted tonight.
