Luis Castillo, Cincinnati Reds

Starts: July 25th at New York Yankees, July 30th at Miami Marlins
ESPN ownership: 19 percent

Luis Castillo's 3.86 ERA and near-30% strikeout rate through his first 35 MLB innings would be impressive in their own right, but they're doubly noteworthy given the challenging competition he has been matched up with. Two starts against Washington, two against Arizona, one at Coors Field -- the Cincinnati Reds' youngster has run quite a gauntlet through his first month in the majors.

Things don't figure to get a heck of a lot easier as he visits the bandbox that is Yankee Stadium this week. To be fair, the Bombers headlining tag team has been looking pretty mortal of late, and the team as a whole has been one of the least-productive offenses in the majors over the last month.

You'll be sweating through that start regardless, eager to turn the page to the weekend outing against a Marlins team that's been a profound bummer at home all season.
