6 years agoTexas Rangers starting pitcher Yohander Mendez makes for a risky option in DFS on Friday. Despite facing a team that ranks ninth in strikeouts this season, Mendez is unlikely to take full advantage. The young left-handed pitcher has rarely struck out a batter per inning at any stage of the minor leagues. In 10 starts at Triple-A this season, Mendez has 40 strikeouts in 51 1/3 innings. He is also a big risk, having a 5.26 ERA in those Triple-A starts. Despite facing a middling offense in Colorado, it does not make sense to look to use Mendez in DFS on Friday.--Ben Rolfe
