Jason Marquis to make Cincinnati Reds debut tonight

Fantasy Impact:

36 year old Jason Marquis will make the start against one of his former teams tonight. Marquis, widely considered a longshot to make the club, let alone crack the rotation faces a major challenge at Great American Ballpark where he is slated to square off against John lackey and the St. Louis Cardinals. Jason Marquis was able to crack the rotation following a stellar spring where he compiled a 3-1 record, 2.90 ERA, and 17 strikeouts over 31 innings in seven starts. Listed at $5200 on Fanduel Jason Marquis is the second cheapest SP available and may be worth taking a flyer. Marquis is 1-1 against St. Louis in his career with a 5.56 ERA, but holds a 17.2% strikeout rate against current Cardinal batters. If he is able to bring the success of March into April, then tonight will be very rewarding for Jason Marquis owners.
