Fantasy Analysis
Joba has gone back to the fastball in each of his last two outings after leaning on too many curveballs against the Indians on May 8. There was some talk that he went to his curveball a lot as he begins to ready himself for a move into the starting rotation. But on Thursday and on Saturday, he reverted back to the pitch that has led to so much early success for him. (Updated 05/10/2008).

Advice
It was only the second home run allowed in 37 career innings by Chamberlain, the hard-throwing reliever who has been nearly unhittable since reaching the majors last August. Boston???s Mike Lowell hit the other one on Sept. 16. David Dellucci???s shot on Tuesday also marked the first regular-season runs Chamberlain has allowed at Yankee Stadium.
