3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 8/6/18
Andrew McCutchen, OF, San Francisco Giants
FanDuel Price: $3,400
The recommendation to fade Andrew McCutchen is not really about his performance this year, which has been quite good. It is instead about his park and his matchup.
With the park factor, it's easy to see the appeal for a fade. AT&T Park is one of the top-5 worst parks for offense in baseball.
The matchup has to do with starter Charlie Morton, who has been just ridiculous against right-handed hitters like McCutchen this year. Morton has held righties to a .270 wOBA, which comes with a 23.8% strikeout rate, 23.2% fly-ball rate, and 25.4% hard-hit rate, putting Cutch in the stay-away zone for Monday's slate.
