4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 6/30/17
After a promising start to the season, Michael Pineda is back to his maddening ways. He should be avoided in DFS tonight.

Jonathan Lucroy, C, Texas Rangers

FanDuel Price: $2,500

It's hard to say what's happened to Jonathan Lucroy, but we're about three months into the season, and he's shown painfully little of the upside he had in 2016. He's hit just four long balls, and although he's not striking out much (9.9% rate), it's come with a lackluster 23.0% hard-hit rate and an uncharacteristically high 53.6% ground-ball rate.

Expect more of the same against Mike Pelfrey. He always seems like a good pitcher to attack in DFS, but he's actually held righties to just a 23.6% hard-hit rate since the beginning of 2015. Even at Lucroy's basement level price, there isn't much reason to expect him to pay off tonight.
