Fantasy Analysis
Vazquez has two wins in his last three starts and has allowed just four earned runs over his last 13 2/3 innings (2.63 ERA). Vazquez is still a must-start Fantasy SP because of his high-strikeout potential. There is also a very good chance he will net double-digit wins for the 10th straight season. His next scheduled start is for Monday in a rematch with the Indians. He is on track to be a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 9 (May 26-June 1) with his second start coming against the Rays. Both are on the road where Vazquez is 2-2 with a 3.73 ERA. (Updated 05/22/2008).
