3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/27/17
Logan Morrison, 1B, Tampa Bay Rays
FanDuel Price: $3,300
Logan Morrison is having a huge year, posting a .375 wOBA -- which is on pace to smash his career high -- with 26 dingers, already a career-best clip.
He's been pretty good in lefty-lefty matchups, too, registering a .356 wOBA off southpaws. But CC Sabathia has stymied left-handed hitters this season, basically not allowing hard-hit balls or fly balls.
| Splits | Strikeout Rate | Walk Rate | Hard-Hit Rate | Fly-Ball Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vs. Right-Handed Hitters | 18.9% | 9.3% | 36.3% | 34.5% |
| Vs. Left-Handed Hitters | 18.8% | 9.4% | 11.6% | 12.2% |
Sabathia's strikeout and walk rates are nearly identical, but those batted-ball stats -- my goodness. Lefties are generating a measly 11.6% hard-hit rate and 12.2% fly-ball rate off him.
The Tampa Bay Rays have the day's lowest implied total (4.13) as of now -- the Arizona-St. Louis game hasn't yet been posted -- and with a tough matchup, LoMo probbaly isn't worth his $3,300 price tag.
