Madison Bumgarner to start early Thursday
by Jeff Krisko | Thu, May 21st 12:39pm EDT
This is round three of this matchup of the NL West's best starting pitchers in Bumgarner and Clayton Kershaw. Madison Bumgarner is 2-0 in the first couple of matchups, allowing three earned runs in 14.1 innings pitched.
Fantasy Impact:
Bumgarner has been up-and-down this year, but is averaging more than a strikeout per inning against the Boys in Blue this year. He's a set-and-forget starter for you in your seasonal leagues, but his matchup gives him a bump down in daily fantasy. Taking on Kershaw and the Dodgers lowers his chance for a win. The 12:45 PM start isn't usual for an NL West matchup, check to make sure he's slotted in your daily league lineups so you don't miss out on his start.
