Fantasy Analysis
Backe's outing was an odd one, as he didn't pitch too poorly after giving up two runs in the first and still managed eight Ks. In Fantasy Week 17 (July 21-27), Backe will face the Brewers in Milwaukee on Saturday, a team he is 1-2 with a 7.36 ERA against this season. Leave him for NL-only formats in the period.
