Elieser Hernandez, SP, Miami Marlins

FanDuel Price: $5,500

Elieser Hernandez takes the ball for the Miami Marlins, and if tonight's start is like any of his previous ones, it could be a long evening for South Florida baseball fans.

Over 56 2/3 innings this season, the right-hander has posted a 5.24 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA), including a lowly 16.1% strikeout rate and 9.1% walk rate.

Command seems to be an issue for the young hurler as he has thrown first-pitch strikes only 56.4% of the time. As those free passes mount, his 52.6% fly-ball rate becomes even uglier.

While the slate is certainly limited, Hernandez is one arm you don't want to roster.
