Description: Miami righthander Ricky Nolasco snapped a three-game losing streak by winning Sunday against Arizona. | Insight: Despite a strong outing Sunday (8 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 11 K's), Nolasco is highly inconsistent and he usually doesn't get a whole of run support. Even if he played for a better team, Nolasco (3-5, 3.96 ERA) wouldn't be a particularly appealing fantasy option. | | |

Description: Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco should not be started against the Braves Tuesday. Nolasco has been crushed by several members of the Braves lineup in extended at-bats. | Insight: Nolasco has posted a 4.80 ERA this season, so he's not much of a fantasy option most of the time, but that's especially true Tuesday.

Description: Marlins SP Ricky Nolasco allowed nine runs (5 ER) on eight hits, including four free passes over just three innings of work against the Diamondbacks Monday night. | Insight: Though he pitched rather well in his previous outing, Nolasco has drawn some very bad luck this year and we believe there is still hope for him to turn things around. His current BABIP is .332 and his strand rate is 69.6%, so there certainly is reason to believe he'll turn this around. We advise sticking it out a little longer... because obviously there's no trade value here. | | |

Description: Ricky Nolasco continues to be a dominant pitcher this season as he hurled 8 1/3 innings against SF on Tuesday and only allowed one run while striking out five Giants. | Insight: Nolasco's 3.04 ERA and 1.15 WHIP are great numbers but his 7.15 K's/9 is actually down over 1.2 from 2010. If he can get those back up to around 8.5/9 then he'll be in Top 20 SP land. | | |
| 5/11/2011 10:11:00 PM |

| 4/9/2011 7:23:00 AM |
Description: Marlins SP Ricky Nolasco allowed 2 runs over 8 innings, scattering 8 hits while striking out 2. | Insight: Nolasco is definitely worth using in all formats, as he has posted a WHIP of 1.00 over his first two starts.
