3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 9/5/17

Chris Iannetta, C, Arizona Diamondbacks

FanDuel Price: $2,800

We like us some cheap catchers, and even more so when they're batting high in the lineup. Chris Iannetta should fit both those criteria tonight.

However, the Arizona Diamondbacks only have a 3.86 implied team total against Hyun-jin Ryu. Although Ryu got lit up in Chase Field by these same Diamondbacks in his last start, this time he's at home, where Arizona gets a park downgrade. In general, Ryu isn't a pitcher we often look to attack either, with a reasonable 4.26 SIERA, 21.6% strikeout rate, and 7.8% walk rate.

Furthermore, there is plenty of potential value at catcher. Buster Posey has a date in Coors Field at around the same price, and Salvador Perez, John Hicks and Travis d'Arnaud are among those priced at $2,300 or lower.
