George Farmer Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Twins implied run total on the rise, currently at 4.9 runs
Buck Farmer actually might not be that bad of a pitcher, but we can't be sure with such a small, sporadic sample size. In 2015, Farmer pitched 40 innings with low strikeouts (12.9%). In 24 innings this season he has good strikeout numbers (23.2% K%) and astronomically high walks with a 50.0% ground ball rate. Though, at Triple-A this season he he was a pitcher with good control. We truly don't know what type of pitcher Farmer is or how good he may or may not be. Either play Brian Dozier (133 wRC+, .372 wOBA, .270 ISO vs RHP) in tournaments because he’s been on another planet the second half, or stack the Twins and bank on the 14.8% walk rate leading to some huge innings. Max Kepler (113 wRC+, .343 wOBA, .228 ISO vs RHP) and Kennys Vargas (.224 ISO vs RHP) are the best options to pair with Dozier given their potential upside.
