Jon Lester, SP, Chicago Cubs

FanDuel Price: $8,400

His price is at its lowest point in recent memory, and he's one of the bigger pitching names on the slate, but Jon Lester doesn't appear likely to give you that tournament-winning performance you're looking for.

In 2017, Lester isn't performing as well as the past couple seasons, producing a 4.08 SIERA, 23.5% strikeout rate, and 8.1% walk rate. His recent form since returning from the disabled list is also troubling. Over his last four starts, he's mustered a 5.66 SIERA, 14.3% strikeout rate, and 12.2% walk rate. Yuck. Perhaps it's no surprise to see a 4.47 implied team total for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Lester has shown the ability to post the occasional big FanDuel score this season, but it's difficult to be all that confident in him right now.
