Pelfrey looks unbeatable vs. Cards: Mike Pelfrey looks nearly unbeatable right now, and so do the New York Mets. Pelfrey won his seventh consecutive decision and Carlos Delgado homered again, sending the NL East leaders to a 7-2 victory over the slumping St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Pelfrey (9-6) pitched seven strong innings, allowing one run and seven hits. He struck out five and walked none. (Updated 07/26/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The 6-foot-7 right-hander has quickly become a force, going 7-0 in his past eight starts. He hasn't lost in 11 outings since May 26 against Florida. "The biggest thing is confidence. I'm out on the mound and I don't feel like I have to be perfect," Pelfrey said. "I believe in myself that I'm going to win." Pitching more aggressively, Pelfrey has lasted at least seven innings in his last five starts. He's walked only one batter over the past four. "He's fun to catch right now," New York's Brian Schneider said. "Everybody knew he was going to make adjustments and make the transition, but I don't think anyone thought it was going to be this quick. He's a completely different pitcher than he was on opening day. ... Lights on, lights off." He's a must-start across the board in Fantasy while he's hot, so go get him if he's still available off the waiver wire (33 percent of leagues). His next scheduled start comes Wednesday at Florida.
