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

Jason Marquis tossed seven scoreless innings Friday versus the Giants, but didn’t factor in the decision. Marquis and Matt Cain both tossed seven shutout innings while allowing three hits before the Giants’ bullpen blew the game. Bob Howry picked up the win following a scoreless inning of relief and Kerry Wood allowed one run while saving his 24th game to tie Brian Wilson for the NL lead. Marquis finishes the first half at 7-6 with a 4.44 ERA after going 6-5 with a 3.67 ERA before the All-Star break last season. (Rotoworld)

Rockies C Chris Iannetta, recently promoted into an everyday role, went 1-for-4 on Friday at the Mets. He now has a five-game hitting streak during which he’s batting .300 (6-for-20) with two home runs. OK, so Iannetta’s hot streak doesn’t make him the hottest thing since high tops, but the 25-year-old has more power potential than most and deserves to start in just about every Fantasy league.

The Sports Xchange notes that Chase Headley has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games (17-for-51). He was 2-for-4 Friday night against Atlanta with the first triple of his career. Headley is 7-for-16 with six RBI in his last four games. He is an elite young talent and is definitely a sleeper in deeper Fantasy leagues. Take a flyer on him if he’s available in your league.
