Fantasy Analysis
Parra has not won since winning his first start April 5 against the Giants. His ERA has also gone from 3.38 to 5.03 in that span. He did pitch a season-high 6 2/3 innings Wednesday, but he just hasn't been the Fantasy SP many envisioned to begin the season. Right now, he is more of a NL-only Fantasy SP. His next scheduled start is for Tuesday against the Pirates. He is on track to be a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25) with his second start coming against the Nationals. Both starts are on the road where he is 0-2 with a 8.25 ERA. Because of that, don't be surprised if the Brewers opt to rest Parra and use Ben Sheets on Tuesday against Pittsburgh.
