Fantasy Analysis
Jackson has one win in his last five starts. He has allowed more than three earned runs just twice in his last six outings. He hasn't received a lot of great run support. Jackson has been at his best in 2008 with the Rays and can be considered a decent low-end Fantasy SP. His next scheduled start is for Friday against the Royals. Jackson beat Kansas City July 4 by allowing one run in eight innings. (Updated 07/20/2008).
