3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 8/7/17
Despite his 3.28 ERA and a complete-game gem against the Padres last week, Ervin Santana's poor peripherals keep him out of the DFS conversation tonight.

Zack Cozart, SS, Cincinnati Reds

FanDuel Price: $3,100

The Cincinnati Reds have one of the highest implied team totals on the board (4.82) against Jhoulys Chacin, but you might be better off sticking with southpaws against him. Since the beginning of 2016, Chacin has a 3.56 xFIP, 23.6% strikeout rate, and 25.2% hard-hit rate against righties.

Thus, that puts a damper on using Zack Cozart, who just returned from the disabled list. Despite seemingly mashing right-handed pitching this year with a .382 wOBA, Cozart has just a .316 xwOBA against them, which is more reflective his career .298 wOBA.
