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

Mets SP John Maine lasted only four innings Monday at St. Louis, losing to fall to 8-6. He started slowly, allowing two singles and two walks to the first four batters in a two-run first, and never picked up any steam, although two of the five runs against him were unearned. He said he had a “dead arm” on top of poor preparation between starts. “It’s not like I was sick, it’s just that my arm just had no life,” Maine said. “Hopefully, you just chalk it up to one of those days.” He allowed seven hits and three walks, recording one strikeout. Maine had won his last two starts and allowed just four runs in 12 2/3 innings (2.84 ERA). He has had some rough moments, but he remains reliable for the most part. Hopefully, this “dead arm” doesn’t affect him going into his next start, but monitor his status in the coming days. He’s a must-start in Fantasy when healthy. His next start — and second of Fantasy Week 14 — is scheduled for Sunday at Philadelphia. (CBS Sports)
