Saunders not great in no decision: Angels SP Joe Saunders labored through 5 1/3 innings, giving up six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits in a no decision against the Orioles on Sunday. Two of those hits were home runs, a stat that has inflated lately for the lefty -- he has given up 10 in his last five starts. He walked three and struck out two in the game as his ERA jumped up to 4.44 on the season.

Fantasy Analysis

What can Saunders do to limit the home runs? "You tell me," Saunders said. "The way to not give up home runs is to get ahead of hitters, to really get them off balance. I haven't been doing that lately and they've been making me pay for it. I have to make an adjustment and keep the damn ball down." Saunders' inability to keep the ball down is causing him to lose Fantasy stock. Right now, he can only be trusted in deeper mixed formats. His next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Yankees.
