Fantasy Analysis
Redding has won two of his last three starts and has allowed two or fewer runs in three of his last four starts. He has had a few bad outings in 2008, but he does have a respectable 3.55 ERA and is doing a decent job on the hill. Redding is a solid NL-only Fantasy option and has some value in larger mixed leagues. His next scheduled start is for Tuesday against the Phillies. He is on track to be a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25) with his second start coming against the Brewers. Redding beat the Phillies April 2 with seven scoreless innings.
