Fantasy Analysis
McAllister was making just his fourth start of the season for the Indians as his record stands at 1-1 with a solid 1.20 WHIP. McAllister, who took over Josh Tomlins spot in the rotation, has given the Indians a chance to win in each start hes made as the 24-year-old has cemented his spot in the rotation, at least until Tomlin can return. Hes been fairly impressive with strikeouts as hes recorded 22 over 25 innings, and can be used in deeper mixed Fantasy formats for Week 9 (May 28-June 3). That is because McAllister makes two starts in the upcoming scoring period, with his first coming Monday against Kansas City. (Updated 05/23/2012).
