Soriano getting saves lately: The Atlanta Braves defeated the Cubs on Wednesday as they went with Mike Gonzalez in the 8th inning and Rafael Soriano in the 9th. Soriano struck out two in a perfect ninth inning for his 10th save. He entered after Gonzalez pitched a scoreless 8th allowing one hit. Soriano has a 1.55 ERA and Gonzalez a 3.05.

Fantasy Analysis

Gonzalez does not have a save since June 28 against Boston and has a win, a loss, a blown save and three holds since that point in six outings. In comparison, Soriano has four straight saves since Gonzalez's last and it seems that Soriano is the closer right now. That could definitely change as manager Bobby Cox hasn't labeled Soriano his lone guy just yet. Gonzalez and Soriano both remain No. 3 Fantasy RPs but Soriano looks like the better option right now.
