C.C. Sabathia continues to dominate the National League. He threw a one-hit shutout, walking three and striking out 11. He is 9-0 with a 1.43 ERA since joining the Brewers. The hit was also a questionable call that upset the Brewers. Sabathia went to pick up a slow roller to the third base side of the mound and went to snare it with the bare hand and couldn't. At least for Mets fans, you will miss him when the Mets play the Brewers starting Monday.
Ty Wigginton had a great month of August and capped it with his 21st homer giving him 12 for the month. Make sure he is owned in your league.
The Braves had one of the best lineups in the league entering the season. Now, they resemble the Washington Nationals. Yunel Escobar hit fifth today. He went 2-for-4 with a run, homer and three RBIs. He is hitting .282 with eight homers and 55 RBIs. And the Yankees thought they have it bad.
Chris Dickerson is off to a fast start for the Reds. The outfielder went 1-for-4 with two runs and a walk and is now hitting .324 with 14 runs, four home runs and 10 RBIs in 68 at-bats. He also stole his fifth base today. He's worth a pickup, especially if you need steals.
Carlos Beltran might be ready to go on one of his usual torrid tears. He homered for the second time in three games and has 21 homers and 93 RBIs.
The Mets bullpen didn't blow it this time, allowing Pedro Martinez to pick up his fifth win of the season. He went six innings and allowed seven hits, two runs, one walk and struck out four. He is 5-3 with a 5.07 ERA. Don't count on him.
Rocco Baldelli could be a big boost for the Rays as well as your fantasy team in the final month. He went 3-for-3 with two runs, an RBI and a walk. He is hitting .351 in 34 at-bats and the talent is there. It's always a question of health with him. He's a good pickup.
Jayson Werth is getting the chance to play every day with Geoff Jenkins on the disabled list and he's taken advantage. He hit his 21st homer and also drove in three. He's a worthy addition for the final month.
If you're in dire need of pitching, take a look at Kevin Milwood. I picked him up last week in a deep league and he came though today. It was his third straight excellent start. He pitched two consecutive complete games before going 6 2/3 innings and allowing five hits, two runs, no walks and struck out seven for the win.
Jake Peavy throws eight scoreless innings with 13 strikeouts and doesn't get a win because Trevor Hoffman blows the game. Then Hoffman gets a win.
Carlos Zambrano was scratched from his start with a tired arm. He could start Tuesday or Wednesday.
