3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 8/17/17

Rougned Odor, 2B, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $3,100

The Chicago White Sox-Texas Rangers game should be a popular destination considering it has an over/under of 11 runs, by far the highest on the board.

You'll want to get plenty of exposure here, but Rougned Odor might not be one of them. We know Odor is good for the occasional dinger, and the price is reasonable compared to most of his teammates, but he's dropped all the way to eighth in the order in three of his last four games, putting a serious hurting on his value. And even though he's shown his usual power against righties with a 39.3% hard-hit rate and 44.4% fly-ball rate, his poor plate discipline has left him with a disappointing .310 wOBA.

Should Odor rise back up the lineup, he gets a whole lot more interesting at his salary. But if it's another day in the eight-hole, unless you're working some contrarian Rangers stacks, it's best to move on.
