Fantasy Analysis
Padilla's strikeout total was obviously disappointing Sunday, but his quality start was more than enough reward for those Fantasy owners who took a flier on the big guy this week. Padilla is now 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in three starts against the Twins this season. In Fantasy Week 17 (July 21-27), Padilla will get one start at Oakland on Saturday, where he is expected to face Justin Duchscherer. Consider him a nice back-of-the-staff option in mixed leagues for the period, even with that tough matchup. (Updated 07/20/2008).
