4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/24/17
Wil Myers, 1B, San Diego Padres
FanDuel Price: $3,000
Wil Myers is very good at baseball, but he's taking on a pitcher -- Jacob deGrom -- who has been death to right-handed hitters this season.
| deGrom | Hard-Hit Rate | Strikeout Rate | Walk Rate | wOBA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Right-Handed Hitters | 32.2% | 31.9% | 6.5% | .274 |
| Left-Handed Hitters | 35.4% | 23.4% | 9.4% | .306 |
I mean, you don't really want to target any San Diego Padres bats tonight, but you really can't roster a right-handed stick against deGrom.
Myers' splits don't do much to change that thinking, either, as he owns a 29.3% strikeout rate against righties while his hard-hit rate against them (39.0%) drops 11 percentage points from where it sits versus southpaws (50.0%).
The Padres' 3.36 implied total is a slate-low clip, and you may have heard about Petco not being great for offense.
