3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 9/1/17
With Clayton Kershaw expected to only throw around 75 pitches tonight, we sadly must avoid him in DFS tonight.

Tyler Saladino, 3B, Chicago White Sox

FanDuel Price: $2,200

Blake Snell seems to be finally figuring out his control issues, handing out free passes only 6.9% of the time over his last seven starts. He's struck out 15 bats over his last 14 innings, so if he starts consistently adding in the punchouts too, look out. Last year he had a 24.4% strikeout rate over 19 starts.

That could spell bad news for the Chicago White Sox, who have just a 4.04 implied team total. Therefore, despite batting second with a minuscule salary, it's tough to get on board with Tyler Saladino tonight. Outside of his strong spot in the lineup, Saladino holds little upside, with just a 23.4% hard-hit rate and 0 home runs over 237 plate appearances.

Furthermore, since he's eligible at third base, he takes you off potential big bats like Nolan Arenado or Manny Machado. If you do want to pay down, Evan Longoria makes for a better cost-saver.
