Fantasy Analysis

Lester was a major disappointment in April and May but is back to pitching like an ace now. He might even be exceeding expectations considering he's striking out more than a batter per inning. With the contending Red Sox, he'll remain a must-start Fantasy option even when he struggles. He figures to make a start during the shortened Fantasy Week 15 (July 16-19), so keep him active.
