Santana had yet another quality start Sunday, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings, and striking out six as the Angels lost in 13 innings at San Diego. However, he didn't factor in the decision.
Recommendation: After a horrid start to the season, Santana has pitched five quality starts in a row, lowering his ERA from a robust 7.23 to a more reasonable 4.22. He has a 29:12 K:BB ratio and 2.25 ERA during his current run, making him a must start in all fantasy formats. Santana's next start is a friendly one at Seattle this Friday.
