3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 9/19/18
Matt Harvey, SP, Cincinnati Reds
FanDuel Price: $7,300
Coming off back-to-back strong outings, including a 10-strikeout performance two turns ago, can we trust Matt Harvey on the bump tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers?
All signs point to no. There are a few major warning signs here, including elevated hard-hit (38.2%) and fly-ball (37.4%) rates this season. Then fold in an outing in Miller Park, which checks in ninth this season in home run factor, and this could add up to a disaster.
Harvey's 9.5% swinging-strike rate in 2018 has been solid, but tonight he does not shape up as a great play.
