3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 4/11/18

David Price, SP, Boston Red Sox

FanDuel Price: $8,600

This one may seem crazy. While David Price appears to be fully back from injury -- pitching 14 scoreless innings to start the season -- the vaunted New York Yankees lineup has failed to live up to expectations.

However, Price's ERA does not reflect his peripherals. Despite two starts against the light-hitting Tampa Bay Rays, Price's swinging-strike rate is just 9.0%. This would represent the lowest mark of his career since the 2013 season. In place of his usual strikeout numbers, the southpaw's early-season success has been largely driven by a .189 batting average on balls in play. However, Price's batted ball profile isn't one that we would associate with a low batting average.

Price has allowed a 54.1% fly-ball rate and 37.8% hard-hit rate to start this season. That is a very bad combination for a pitcher, and against a lineup that features fearsome sluggers such as Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Gary Sanchez -- all of whom bat from the right-hand side of the plate -- Price could finally see some of those hard-hit fly-balls turn into home runs.
