The San Diego Padres have been abysmal against left-handed pitching last season. Their 76 wRC+ is tied for the worst mark in the majors, while their 25.3% strikeout rate stacks up as a top-5 mark. San Diego's 3.11 implied total is more than half a run worse than any other team's today, and at -330, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the biggest favorite on the slate by an absolutely massive margin.

Rich Hill's 3.88 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) isn't anything to get excited about, but is more than solid enough to give him a very promising outlook in this matchup.

Where he really gains his fantasy appeal though is with his 28.3% strikeout rate -- a mark that jumps to 34.3% with a 13.3% swinging strikeout rate in his six starts since July 1.

Our models also project Hill as Friday's top-scoring fantasy pitcher.
