The good news is that Pelfrey pitched much better than he has been recently. The bad news is that the threshold for us saying so was the barroom floor. Pelfrey entered this evening 0-4 with a 7.59 ERA in his last six starts. He'd been particularly ineffective away from spacious Target Field, going 0-2 with a 17.69 ERA in his last three road outings. Though we'd usually suggest avoiding the right-hander in fantasy until he pulls himself out of this tailspin, AL-only owners will probably be interested in his Pittsburgh/Seattle two-start week on deck.
