4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 6/12/17
Zack Cozart has put up impressive numbers this season, but he remains overpriced on FanDuel. Who else should you avoid in DFS on Monday?

John Lackey, SP, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $8,400

It's tough to find value at pitcher today, and even though John Lackey has a solid 23.3% strikeout rate and 11.2% swinging-strike rate, he simply doesn't have the same upside as Strasburg, Darvish or deGrom to consider putting in the mix.

Lackey does have a flukey 61-point game, which was in Colorado of all places, but other than that he hasn't broken 40 points since April 12th.

The New York Mets are quietly putting up a solid 104 wRC+ and 35.5% hard-hit rate against righties, while only striking out 19.2% of the time.

Add in some wind and high temperatures at Citi Field, and there's just not a lot of reason to get excited about Lackey tonight.
