Eight starts, eight wins.  Might as well hand over the National League Cy Young over to Brandon Webb right now.  The Arizona right-hander threw a complete game against the Phillies giving up just three earned runs while striking out four.  He’s the first pitcher in the NL to win his first eight starts since Pedro Martinez did it back in 1997.  Backed by an excellent offense and bullpen, Webb is the best pitcher in fantasy.

Plenty of teams with dreams of reaching the playoffs are already in need of a boost.  Good thing help is literally only a phone call away.  There are plenty of top prospects thriving down on the farm that could change the fortunes of both their major league and your fantasy teams. 

Max Scherzer, P, ARI:  Groomed previously as a reliever, Scherzer has been spectacular as a starter this season.  The PCL is known so much as a hitter’s league that the Dodgers tend to avoid placing

The Bears got the ball back with 1:52 left on the clock, no timeouts, trailing 16-12, and 97 yards of turf to cover.  Brian Griese did a masterful job of running the two minute drill and it helped that Philly went with the soft prevent (yourself from winning) defense. The

Don't look now, but the Rockies are in the World Series. The team and the players themselves probably didn't expect to be in the position they are in, but after they finished off a sweep of Arizona with a 6-4 win Monday night, it wouldn't surprise anybody to see them as World Series champions. At least, it shouldn't surprise anybody at this point because really, would anything Colorado did at this point be a shock?

The Rockies have won 20 of 21 overall beginning with a 13-0 shutout over the Marlins back on September 16. That hot streak has carried them

NLCS
Rockies in 6

I think Colorado is just too hot right now, and won't be stopped by the D-Backs. Both teams have young talented position players, but I like the Rockies hitters better. Matt Holliday is the best hitter in this series, and his team has more overall depth throughout the lineup (more power too). Outside of Brandon Webb, I don't think any of Arizona's starters can shutdown the opposing lineup, and if Webb doesn't win both of his starts the D-Backs have no shot.
