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?

Maikel Franco, 3B, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $2,800

Even with Rick Porcello giving up a ton of hard contact this season (42.2%) and some potential winds at Fenway, we still can't use the struggling Maikel Franco.

Instead of taking the next step this year, Franco has been an utter disaster, sporting just a .258 wOBA and .130 isolated power.

The good news is he's not striking out at a high rate (15.3%), and his .216 BABIP screams positive regression. A turnaround could occur at some point, much like his teammate Odubel Herrera.

Still, over the past month, he's hitting an uncharacteristically high rate of grounders (51.2%), with a pedestrian hard-hit rate (28.1%) and average exit velocity (86.6 mph). If you want some exposure to the Philadelphia Phillies, you're probably better off looking at Franco's teammates.
