3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 6/19/18
Joey Votto has struggled with lefty-lefty matchups, and he faces yet another one tonight. Who else should we look to pivot from on Tuesday?

Ryan Braun, OF, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $3,200

Over 12 major league seasons, Ryan Braun has terrorized pitching, especially with the platoon advantage. The slugger owns a ridiculous .424 wOBA and 39.1% hard-hit rate over 1,616 plate appearances against left-handed pitching.

He's still been a boss against righties for the most part, but he's certainly taken a step back there in 2018. Over 151 plate appearances this year, Braun has struggled his way to a .292 wOBA and 29.1% fly-ball rate.

Braun's walk and strikeout rates against same-sided hurlers are pretty ugly, too. He brings a miniscule 4.6% walk rate and 26.5% strikeout rate into tonight's matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates' Jameson Taillon.
