Fantasy Analysis
Rusch hadn't won as a starter since 2006 prior to a few weeks ago. Now he's got two wins in as many starts. That will keep him in the rotation for a while, that's for sure. He's only owned in one percent of Fantasy leagues, but something tells me he will be among the top picked up players in the next few weeks. Go ahead and take a chance on him in NL-only formats, at least. He's next scheduled to start against L.A. on Wednesday. (Updated 07/19/2008).
