3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/13/18

Junior Guerra, SP, Milwaukee Brewers

FanDuel Price: $8,200

Junior Guerra's peripherals more closely resemble the prototype of the pitcher we want to stack against rather than use in the pitcher slot in DFS.

Guerra boasts an average 9.4% walk rate and 9.7% swinging-strike rate on the year. And I say boast because that is the only respectable aspect of Guerra's pitching profile. His batted-ball stats are horrendous, including a 41.5% fly-ball rate and 42.2% hard-hit rate. All of this translates to a 4.19 SIERA that screams negative regression from Guerra's current 2.79 ERA.

Guerra also lacks strikeout potential against a Pittsburgh Pirates team that owns the second-lowest strikeout rate (19.6%) in baseball against right-handed pitching.
