​Brandon McCarthy, Atlanta Braves

Start: May 11th at Miami Marlins
ESPN percentage owned: 22.8%

You shouldn't need us to twist your arm to target the lowly Miami Marlins to stream against. Miami's barely-there .104 group ISO gets even worse against righties, and the effectiveness of Brandon McCarthy's sinker should play to the Marlins' light-hitting ways .

The Atlanta Braves righty hasn't coaxed many whiffs (3.2% strikeout rate) with that go-to pitch, but inducing poor contact seems to be the point, with McCarthy surrendering a mere .054 ISO with that sinking fastball on the season. Look for the veteran hurler to keep the ball down and stifle the Marlins toward a strong fantasy showing in Week 6.
