Matt Carpenter, 3B, St. Louis Cardinals

Matt Carpenter remains frustratingly futile at the dish, at least in terms of surface stats, with the St. Louis Cardinals' utility man scratching out a paltry ,462 OPS over the past two weeks despite 40.7% hard-contact clip and 29.6% line-drive rate.

His .190 BABIP on the season has to turn at some point, and Week 5 dates against mortal righties like James Shields, Lucas Giolito, and Tyler Chatwood could be just what the doctor ordered. Carp owns a career .864 OPS against right-handers, making him a strong mid-priced play for Week 5.
