3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 9/6/18
Willson Contreras has been solid at the plate in 2018, but he's got a tough matchup tonight against Stephen Strasburg. On a shortened slate, who else should we look to avoid?

Anibal Sanchez, SP, Atlanta Braves

FanDuel Price: $7,900

As part of the Atlanta Braves' surge to the top of the AL East, Anibal Sanchez has been really strong in a bounce-back season. Over 108 2/3 innings pitched, Sanchez has recorded a 2.98 ERA and 3.87 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) with a 24.0% strikeout rate.

But Sanchez hasn't been so solid in recent outings. In his last three winless starts, Sanchez has made it past six innings only once, and he's posted a 37.3% fly-ball rate with his swinging-strike rate dipping down to 9.0%.

Tonight, Sanchez faces a Washington Nationals offense that ranks ninth in team weighted on-base average (wOBA) against right-handed pitching (.325). On a shortened slate, Sanchez may be one to pivot off of tonight.
