Fantasy Analysis
The good news here is that Robertson allowed less than four runs for the first time eight starts this season. He has been tagged for 20 hits in his last two games, and had he'd been facing a better team, the results might have been different. The sad fact remains that Robertson is not pitching very well this season. However, he continues to hold onto his job. Robertson remains a risky AL-only Fantasy SP at this time. His next scheduled start is for Sunday at Arizona. (Updated 05/14/2008).
