4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 6/2/17
Michael Fulmer has a streak of 10 straight quality starts but still lacks the upside to compete with the top DFS pitching options.

Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, Los Angeles Dodgers

FanDuel Price: $2,500

With the Los Angeles Dodgers getting a 4.44 implied team total, punting with Adrian Gonzalez might appear like a reasonable way to fit in a stud pitcher such as Kershaw.

However, since his return from the disabled list, Gonzalez has yet to show much upside with a .277 wOBA, .149 isolated power (ISO), and 28.9% hard-hit rate. He has just one home run all season.

It doesn't help things that opposing pitcher Jimmy Nelson has been on a roll lately, with a 3.08 SIERA and 27.4% strikeout rate in May.

Particularly at a power-rich position like first base, Gonzalez isn't worth the risk despite the appealing price.
