Fantasy Analysis

Nathan has been absolutely lights out for Minnesota. He has not allowed a hit since June 26 at St. Louis and picked up 11 saves in June without allowing a run in 11.2 innings giving up just four hits with a .105 batting average against. He is looking like one of the top closers in baseball and is a No. 1 Fantasy option.
