FACTS/FLUKES: Carrasco, Beltre, Pillar, Smyly, K. Marte

Health remains Carrasco's only obstacle ... After sporting top-notch skills from 2014-15, Carlos Carrasco (RHP, CLE) was a popular breakout target in 2016 drafts despite a career-high of just 183 innings. Carrasco's run of bad health continued in April when he went down with a strained hamstring, but his 2.56 ERA through 10 starts suggests he's been an ace when healthy—do the skills agree?
