ESPN Fantasy's Adam Madison thinks Wandy will turn in a decent performance tomorrow night against the Cardinals. Why?
Most of his problems are due to a ridiculously inflated .387 batting average on balls in play. He has a solid 19:4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his past four starts (23 innings), has had success against the Cards (3.72 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in five starts last season, including a 2.65 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in three starts at Busch Stadium) and the Red Birds just aren't good against left-handed pitching (.657 OPS, 22nd).
So if you have Wandy on your fantasy team (somehow, in my fantasy league, I have all five Astros starting pitchers. I honestly don't know how that happened.) go ahead and throw him.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
