3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 8/30/17
The Houston Astros have a high implied team total against Andrew Cashner, but it's probably a good idea to steer clear of George Springer tonight.

George Springer, OF, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $3,800

Andrew Cashner is that annoying pitcher who everyone should light up, and yet here he is 21 starts later with a 3.44 ERA. He has poor 5.56 SIERA and 12.0% strikeout rate, but continues to limit the damage with ground balls and not a lot of hard contact. He's particularly a nuisance against righties, holding them to a 28.3% hard-hit rate and 58.7% ground-ball rate.

Thus, despite a 4.88 implied team total for the Houston Astros, it's hard to get very excited about the righty bats in this one, including George Springer. Even if they can get to Cashner, they're unlikely to go nuts, particularly in pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field.
