Carlos Martinez, P, St. Louis Cardinals

Price: $9,800

The St. Louis Cardinals are Thursday's biggest favorites by a huge margin (-225 moneyline), leaving the San Diego Padres with the day's second-lowest implied total (3.25).

Just looking at active rosters, the Padres rank bottom-10 with a 95 wRC+ against right-handed pitching, while their 23.5% strikeout rate is the third-highest in the majors, making them an incredibly appealing fantasy matchup.

Carlos Martinez is more than capable of taking advantage of that potential upside, boasting a 25.5% strikeout rate on the year, and this matchup gives him a great combination of floor and ceiling.
