4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 5/3/17
Robbie Ray may have a 30.2% strikeout rate, but he's not worth the risk against the Nationals. Who else should you fade in daily fantasy baseball today?

Josh Harrison, 2B, Pittsburgh Pirates

FanDuel Price: $3,300

Don't chase the points!

Josh Harrison has slugged three home runs over the last two days, leading to FanDuel scores of 37.4 and 28.7. Against a weak pitcher like Rookie Davis (5.35 SIERA), you could certainly do worse than roll out Harrison, who should hit leadoff again tonight.

But know that he's never shown much power throughout his career. Last year, he hit 4 homers in 522 plate appearances with a .105 isolated power (ISO). His career-high is 13 home runs in 2014, and he only has 33 homers over his entire career. He's in his seventh major league season.

Batting high in the order has made Harrison a useful value option, but with his price now at $3,300, it's getting harder to justify his cost.

The matchup keeps Harrison viable in stacks, but don't go out of your way to roster him, and don't chase a third day of fireworks.
