Jose Martinez, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals

Price: $2,600

We go back to the Cardinals offense one more time for this one.

In addition to the exploitable matchup that is Dylan Covey, the White Sox' bullpen owns the eighth-worst xFIP in the Majors, meaning that even if the Cardinals shell Covey early, they will likely continue to draw fantasy-friendly matchups for the remainder of the evening.

Through three Major League seasons (201 games), Jose Martinez has a terrific .372 wOBA and a .193 ISO. This season has seen him notch a .362 wOBA, which comes on a 41.4% hard-hit rate -- numbers that are much higher than we usually see at this price point.

Martinez is doing especially good work against righties this year, with a .376 wOBA and .206 ISO on a 42.6% hard-hit rate, and he should have no issue producing against Covey and company in this spot.
