Carlos Carrasco, P, Cleveland Indians

FanDuel Price: $10,800

Carlos Carrasco has been throwing flames in the second half, posting a 27.7% strikeout rate and 4.7% walk rate. He was straight-up filth in August, upping his strikeout rate to 29.3% while dropping his walk rate to 3.2%.

The dude is on fire, and he gets a road matchup against the Houston Astros. Houston has a good offense, ranking 13th in wOBA (.320), but the Astros have the third-highest strikeout rate against right-handers at 24.0%.

Carrasco -- our top-ranked arm -- has been better away from home in 2016. On the road, he's limiting hitters to a .242 wOBA with a 29.4% strikeout rate and 4.4% walk rate. Carrasco's ability to get swings and misses coupled with Houston's propensity for striking out gives Carrasco a safe floor and huge ceiling.
