3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 5/1/19

Mike Trout, OF, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $5,000

Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout may still be looking to round into power form, as he has only ripped five home runs in 2019, but he's nabbed three stolen bases in the last eight games, providing plenty of fantasy punch.

But up against Marcus Stroman of the Toronto Blue Jays, Trout could be in for a stiff test. Stroman has built a strong 2019 resume (albeit a small sample size) by dominating same-sided bats, limiting them to a .220 wOBA, 27.5% strikeout rate, and zero long-balls this year.

Returning to 2018, Stroman's batted-ball profile against righties revealed more of the same. He held them to a 32.3% hard-hit rate and 24.2% fly-ball rate, so rostering the expensive Trout may not be in your best interest.
