Fantasy Baseball

In case you haven’t noticed, the closer for last year’s World Champions is starting this year, and he’s been on quite a roll.

Adam Wainwright pitched a gem of a game last night, going seven innings and striking out eight and giving up no earned runs. All this happened one start after he went the distance in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

He’s 11-9 with a 4.01 ERA, which is probably why he is only owned in 28 percent of ESPN fantasy leagues. But with the Cards surging and Wainwright on his game, he could be a steal of a waiver pickup for the playoffs.
