Fantasy Analysis
Hernandez is 5-1 in his last eight starts. He hasn't pitched deep into games in his last three outings, though he hasn't given up more than three runs since May. King Felix's problem is he pitches for the lowly Mariners. Still, he remains a viable Fantasy starter in all formats. And especially next week, as he pitches twice. He first throws Tuesday at Texas and then faces Baltimore at home. (Updated 07/23/2008).
