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

Todd Wellemeyer hurled 7 2/3 innings of shutout ball as the Cardinals defeated the Marlins 3-0 on Thursday night. Wellemeyer allowed only three hits while walking four and striking out three in his longest and best outing of the season. Wellemeyer retired 13 straight hitters at one point before walking Hanley Ramirez with two out in the eighth. The Marlins went without a hit between Dan Uggla’s lead-off single in the second and Luis Gonzalez’s two-out single in the eighth. He’s now put together a string of four straight quality starts. Wellemeyer hasn’t pitched into the seventh lately aside from Thursday but he’s gone at least five in eight straight starts. He’s pitching well right now for St. Louis and should continue to do so as the Cardinals contend. Right now he’s considered to start in Fantasy in most weeks on deeper mixed Fantasy rosters. Wellemeyer is now 10-4 with a 3.79 ERA. In three August starts he’s 2-0 with a 1.77 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. (Rotoworld, Rotowire, CBS Sports)
