Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners

Start: July 21st vs. Chicago White Sox
ESPN ownership: 29.4%

Felix Hernandez returns to the Seattle Mariners' rotation from a short DL stint to draw a White Sox team that has been downright undisciplined of late, swinging freely to a 20.9% strikeout-minus-walk rate against righties over the last month.

Clearly Hernandez's days as a fantasy fixture are well behind him (4.63 FIP, 18.8% strikeouts), but he still benefits from calling the pitcher-friendly Safeco Field home. The spacious venue should provide some cushion against the Sox this weekend.

Chicago was limited to a .701 team OPS when away from the bandbox at Guaranteed Rate Field in the first half. King Felix should be able to take advantage.
