3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Players to Avoid on 5/29/18
Starling Marte has returned from the disabled list, but he faces Jon Lester in a split he's struggled against recently. Who else should you stay away from tonight?

Yuli Gurriel, 1B, Houston Astros

FanDuel Price: $2,500

With a date with CC Sabathia on tap at homer-friendly Yankee Stadium -- which checked in second in ESPN's home run factor in 2017 -- Yulieski Gurriel should make for a salary-saving choice with the platoon advantage tonight, right? Not exactly.

In this spot, dating back to the start of the 2017 season, Gurriel has actually struggled quite a bit. Covering 207 plate appearances, Gurriel has recorded mediocre marks with a .141 isolated power (ISO) and .299 weighted on-base average (wOBA).

There could be plenty of Houston Astros on their way to big evenings, but Gurriel likely won't be one of them.
