Fantasy Analysis
Cain allowed five runs on nine hits in his last start at Pittsburgh and has been generally inconsistent this season. Hopefully, this start will help get him in line because he has the upside to serve as a No. 2 Fantasy SP when going well. His next start -- and second of Fantasy Week 7 -- is scheduled for Sunday against the White Sox. (Updated 05/14/2008).
