Fantasy Analysis
Sheets now has two straight no-decisions after winning four straight to open the season. While his last win chance was blown by Eric Gagne, Saturday's game was more to do with a lack of offensive support. Despite his winless week, Sheets remains a must-start Fantasy SP as long as he is healthy. His next scheduled start is set for Thursday against the Dodgers and Chad Billingsley. Sheets was 1-1 with a 1.76 ERA and a complete game in two starts against Los Angeles last season. (Updated 05/10/2008).

Advice
Sheets, the longest-tenured member of the 2008 Brewers, fanned Albert Pujols on an 0-2 breaking ball to reach 1,082 career strikeouts and surpass Teddy Higuera, who pitched for Milwaukee from 1985-91 and 1993-94.
