Vincent Velasquez, SP, Philadelphia Phillies

FanDuel Price: $7,500

A quick peek at Vincent Velasquez's early-season numbers would lead you to believe a strong run of form. He owns a 2.55 ERA over his first four starts, including a 0.96 WHIP and 23.5% strikeout rate.

But there's some danger here, so roster him at your own risk. His batted-ball profile is a bit terrifying, with a 39.6% hard-hit rate and 44.7% fly-ball rate, paired with a 9.4% swinging-strike rate.

The New York Mets, Velasquez's opponent, rank 18th in strikeout rate against righties (23.0%), leaving the Phillies' righty in a tough spot.
