Fantasy Analysis
Buehrle entered the game with a 10.32 ERA over his last two starts, but he pitched eight shutout innings in Toronto the start before that. He can still win games for the White Sox and your Fantasy team when going well, but don't treat him like the ace he was earlier in the decade. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Indians. (Updated 05/18/2008).
Buehrle gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings with six strikeouts, but the visiting White Sox lost, 10-7, to the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. (Updated 05/13/2008)
