3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/6/18
Mike Foltynewicz boasts a pristine ERA, but his underlying metrics suggest that his success is due to some good fortune. Which other players should you be avoiding on Friday?

Ian Kinsler, 2B, Los Angeles Angels

FanDuel Price: $2,900

Ian Kinsler has had an underrated career, but he's been pretty mediocre against right-handed pitching. He has just a 101 wRC+ against right-handed pitching in his career, due primarily to a low 28.8% hard-hit rate.

Kenta Maeda, meanwhile, has made a living out of getting right-handed hitters out. In his career, Maeda has limited right-handed batters to just a .263 wOBA. This includes a ridiculous 31.5% strikeout rate, and that's further supported by just a 27.5% hard-hit rate against right-handed bats.

Considering his overall struggles against right-handed pitching, Kinsler is a rather easy avoid against Maeda and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
