Weekly Forecast
Courtesy of ESPN Fantasy, the Week 1 Forecast, compiled by Tristan Cockroft:
The Roadrunners have two pitchers that are going twice in week one:
Doug Davis
4/3, PIT (Ol. Perez), 4/8, ARI (C. Vargas)
(14-10 record, 3.08 ERA, .221 BAA in 39 career GS at Miller Park)Brandon Webb
4/3, @COL (Jennings), 4/9, @MIL (Capuano)
Also, two Roadrunners get shout-outs in the “Hot Streak” section:
Jason Vargas (FLA) was 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 21 spring innings. He faces the Mets and Steve Trachsel, making him worthy of NL-only attention.
Ryan Zimmerman (WAS) batted .347 with seven homers and 15 RBI in 23 spring games. Everyone thinks he’ll struggle in the power department at RFK Stadium, but with the Nationals on the road all week, expect a hot start.
No Roadrunners were mentioned in the Cold Streak section.
