Trevor Cahill, San Diego Padres

Starts: May 12th at Chicago White Sox

ESPN ownership: 15 percent

Veteran righty Trevor Cahill is very quietly having a career year in his first season with the San Diego Padres, upping his strikeouts and reigning in his walks to the tune of a 21 percent strikeout-minus-walk rate that dwarfs his 7.6 percent career mark.

Credit Cahill's revamped sinker, with its added movement resulting in a doubling in its strikeout rate against and major dip in ISO against compared to last season.

Cahill should keep rolling against a Chicago White Sox squad that matches the flailing Giants in terms of offensive futility against righties, with their wRC+ against right handers ranking dead last across the majors. Streamers should also perk up at Chicago's 24.3 percent strikeout rate on the season against right-handers. Cahill is in a nice spot to pile up some strikeouts.
