Jose Fernandez, Miami Marlins, ($10,800)

We all know about Fernandez's greatness. But since it's the start of school across the country and the first days are always a refresher, we'll give you a quick refresher on Fernandez. This season he holds a 2.27 fielding independent pitching (FIP), 12.96 K/9 and a 204/42 K/BB rate in 141 2/3 innings pitched. So he is a stud and it's going to cost you a high price, he's the most expensive player today, but the matchup is attractive. Since the All Star Break, the Kansas City Royals have one of the worst wRC+ in baseball (78), a .289 wOBA and strike out in 21 percent of their at bats. If you can line up value plays elsewhere, Fernandez is an elite play.
