Royals Sticking With Bubba Starling
5 years agoKansas City Royals outfielder Bubba Starling continues to play nearly every day, batting seventh on Thursday. Kansas City is using the same lineup as Wednesday except at catcher, and the top half of their lineup is usable in DFS against Oakland starter Chris Bassitt, who has out-pitched his peripherals this season. But Starling? He debuted the first game after the All Star Break and has been one of MLB's worst hitters in the second half, with a .200/.241/.269 slash line and a 4.3 BB% with a 31.9 K%. Kansas City might as well ride this out the rest of the season, but Starling appears to be going nowhere fast. Even at $0 he would be a questionable DFS pick.
