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

Yasmani Grandal, C, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Sporting a sizzling implied team total of 4.86 runs, the Milwaukee Brewers could be heavily owned, including a guy like Yasmani Grandal, who possesses plenty of pop from his catcher spot.

Colorado Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela has shown he's more than equipped to handle the task, though, especially against lefty bats. A season ago, the right-hander dominated the split, posting totals of a .306 wOBA, 30.2% hard-hit rate, and 29.3% fly-ball rate.

So far this season, albeit in a limited sample, Senzatela has kept that going with a .273 wOBA allowed to lefties. The switch-hitting Grandal could seem like a juicy option in Miller Park, which ranks fourth in home run factor in 2019 and clocked in 10th last year, but he seems like a fade-able option.
