Fantasy Analysis
Dempster's command abandoned him at times, but Fantasy owners got another quality start out of him. His ERA dipped below 3.00 in the start, and he's pitched well enough this season to be considered a must-start in most formats. Treat him as such for the upcoming scoring period, when he'll face the Brewers on the road. (Updated 07/25/2008).
