4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 5/17/17
Despite the strong matchup, Aaron Altherr's FanDuel price is no longer worth paying for. Who else should you avoid in MLB DFS on Wednesday?

Aaron Altherr, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $4,200

I get that Andrew Cashner isn't a great opposing pitcher, but the salary on Aaron Altherr is getting out of hand!

Priced the same as the aforementioned Nelson Cruz and around the likes of Kris Bryant, Joey Votto and Nolan Arenado, it might be time to jump off the Altherr ship.

No doubt, he's had a fantastic run, but a .370 BABIP and 36.4% home-run-to-fly-ball rate (HR/FB%) simply aren't sustainable. He's also striking out at a 25.2% clip, which further adds some risk.

Altherr looks like he'll be plenty good this year, but don't pay a superstar price for him.
