Fantasy Analysis
Millwood has given up one run over his last 22 innings spanning three starts as hes lowered his ERA from 5.88, where it was after losing his fourth consecutive decision on May 8 against Detroit. Hes won three straight starts since and has 15 strikeouts over that span. Millwood is turning his season around, but we just dont see this continuing much longer. The good news is Millwood will continue giving owners innings, but remains more of an AL-only Fantasy option at this time pitching for Seattle. He gets a boost in value for Week 9 (May 28-June 3) as he is a two-start pitcher. Millwood makes his next start on Monday in a rematch with the Rangers in Texas. (Updated 05/23/2012).

05/19/2012 02:29 The Lineup: Pitchers and Blue Jays
Interleague play commenced with some staggering pitching performances ... except in Toronto.
Kevin Millwood had a long road to the majors last season but pitched fairly well after finally making his 2011 debut. After opting out of deals with both the Yankees and Red Sox, he caught on with the Rockies later in the season and went 4-3 with a 3.98 ERA in nine starts. Millwood signed a minor-league deal with Seattle in the offseason and will compete for a spot in the rotation during spring training, going up against some young starters. The right-hander has a 4.64 ERA over the last six seasons and has shown in the past he can be productive with a competitive team, but based on this stage of his career, plan on ignoring the 37-year-old in the majority of Fantasy formats on Draft Day, even if he breaks camp with the big club.
