Sabathia on a losing streak: Yankees starter CC Sabathia has now taken losses in back-to-back starts as he was beaten by Johnny Cueto and the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday in New York. Sabathia actually had a no-hitter going early in the start, but the Reds eventually got the better of him with two seventh-inning homers from Ryan Ludwick and Ryan Hanigan. Sabathia allowed three earned runs on six hits and five walks over seven innings to drop to 5-2 on the year. He struck out six and his ERA is at 3.78 for the Yankees. (Updated 05/20/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Sabathia has now allowed seven earned runs over his last 13 innings for back-to-back losses against the Orioles and Reds. Still, he'd won five straight starts prior to that and he pitched well enough to win on most days on Sunday. We can barely refer to this as a cold stretch for Sabathia, who remains a worthy Fantasy start in all mixed leagues going forward. Sabathia will make his next start on Saturday at Oakland in Week 8 (May 21-27). We have a feeling he could dominate the A's. (Updated 05/20/2012).

Even though some American League pitchers look as if they don't know which end of the bat to hold, there are some pitchers in the AL that look comfortable in the batter's box even after losing the safety of the DH.

Interleague play begins Friday night, and it's the last time you'll be able to say that. With realignment coming in 2013, there will be interleague play every day of the season, as opposed to all in one stretch of the schedule, as has been the case since 1997. Back then, it was special. Is it now?
05/15/2012 22:08 Chen outduels CC, Orioles drop Yanks
Wei-Yin Chen pitched seven innings of four-hit ball, Adam Jones homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees 5-2 Tuesday night.
Even though he has won a Cy Young Award, CC Sabathia is not likely to command the same sort of respect that, say, Roy Halladay or Justin Verlander will on Draft Day. However, owners will have a hard time finding a starting pitcher who has been as good on a consistent basis as Sabathia has been since 2006. Over that six-year span, Sabathia has never compiled a full-season ERA above 3.37 or a WHIP above 1.23. He is also one of the game's true workhorses, providing his teams with 230 or more innings over each of the last five years. At the age of 31, Sabathia is still in the prime of his career and shows no signs of slowing down. As the Yankees' ace, he will continue to provide innings and wins, making him one of the top six starting pitchers in Fantasy. (Updated 2/21/12)
