First, the Thursday recap. Hitting wise, my picks were not nearly as productive. On the bright side, minus Jim Edmonds going 0-3 (headline picture curse?) and Garret Anderson's 23-game hitting streak coming to a screeching halt with an 0-5 performance, the rest of the lineup managed to combine for eight hits in 26 at-bats, three scores, all while driving in seven runs.
Three pitchers were mentioned as spot-start candidates, due to their availability in many leagues; this was indicated with italics within the article. Two of the three had a no-decision, but it was Oakland's Greg Smith that excelled to the head of the class. The young lefty managed six shutout innings for the win. The good news? He still seems to be available in 81 percent of fantasy leagues.
In many head-to-head fantasy baseball leagues, Monday, Aug. 25 marks a beginning to the final week of the regular season. For some, a good week could be the difference between a bye-week starting next Monday or even just flat-out making the cut!
With that said, it's important that you bring your "A-game" all next week. I'll do my best to help get Monday started off on the right foot, good luck:
