Carlos Rodon, SP, Chicago White Sox

FanDuel Price: $7,600

Carlos Rodon has shown some upside as an underrated arm for the Chicago White Sox this season, sporting a strong 25.6% strikeout rate.

However, some of those punchouts have evaporated lately, as that rate has dropped to just 19.7% over his last five starts, and it's come with a concerning 8.4% swinging-strike rate. He's still posted a 3.52 ERA over that span, but a 4.58 SIERA suggests he's gotten a little lucky.

To make matters worse, he's going up against a scorching hot Cleveland Indians team on a 14-game win streak. Rodon may have pulled off a 48-point FanDuel outing against them at the end of July, but these look like two ships going in opposite directions.

Even if he can find a way put the clamps down, some guy named Corey Kluber will be doing his thing on the other side, so good luck getting a win.
