Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Braves SP Jorge Campillo, surprisingly good in his first three starts, has hit a bump in the road in two starts since. He allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings Sunday against the Phillies, striking out two. He didn’t factor in the decision. Campillo has a 6.75 ERA but only a 2.17 ERA overall. The longtime minor-league journeyman was pitching way over his head earlier in the season and probably doesn’t deserve a look outside of NL-only leagues. His next start is scheduled for Saturday at the Angels. (CBS Sports)

Mat Gamel’s prospect status has risen nicely in Double-A this season. He has posted an amazing .382-13-51-57-4 (.454-.668) and outperformed more elite prospect and teammate Matt LaPorta. Gamel’s Fantasy ownership is now over 1 percent because of his Bugs Bunny numbers and the fact Bill Hall has stunk and is whining his way out of Milwaukee. Consider Gamel a potential surprise arrivee in the coming months and a sleeper in deeper formats. Long term, he looks to us like a Kevin Kouzmanoff-type. (CBS Sports)
