4 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 7/14/17
Michael Conforto has an awfully appealing FanDuel price tonight, but you're better off avoiding him in a tough spot against Jon Gray.

Jose Berrios, SP, Minnesota Twins

FanDuel Price: $9,200

The future sure looks bright for 23-year-old Jose Berrios, but tonight he runs straight on into the buzzsaw known as the Houston Astros.

Sometimes it's a good strategy in tournaments to use elite pitchers in tough matchups to get them at low ownership, but the Astros have been on a whole different level in 2017. Against righties, their active roster strikes out just 17.3% of the time, and has a ridiculous 129 wRC+. No wonder they had three guys starting in the All-Star game. The Astros have a 5.00 implied team total.

Furthermore, with a 3.97 SIERA and 23.7% strikeout rate, Berrios doesn't quite hang with the top options on the slate, nor gives you a sizable discount.
