3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 8/28/18

Amed Rosario, SS, New York Mets

FanDuel Price: $2,900

While Hechavarria's cheap price tag isn't worth it, Amed Rosario is a more expensive one tonight, but he's also faced with a really tough matchup.

Since August 10th, Rosario has been hot at the dish, posting a .348 wOBA, and that's led to him showcasing his elite speed with five steals over the last few weeks.

But facing Cole Hamels, who's been brilliant in his short time as a Cub, and Rosario may find it hard to get on base. Since joining the North Siders, Hamels owns a 0.79 ERA and 2.36 FIP spanning 34 innings, including a 23.8% strikeout rate in his 5 starts.

To make life worse for Rosario, Willson Contreras is one of the best throwing catchers in baseball, ranking third in caught stealing percentage (35.0%). All of these factors make Rosario an easy one to avoid.
