Fantasy Analysis
Mets fans must have thought their day might finally have come when Pelfrey took his no-no into the seventh, but it wasn't to be, and the Nationals just added to their misery by winning the game. Pelfrey has looked better lately after enduring a rough patch in late April/early May, and will get one start in Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25), against the Braves on Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Braves. He might get a second start on Sunday in Colorado, but the Mets rotation hasn't been confirmed yet. His value right now lies mostly in NL-only formats, but he should attract attention in mixed leagues if he gets two starts next week. (Updated 05/15/2008).
