From Rotoworld: Maeda shut out the Braves for seven innings, allowing just two hits, to pick up his 10th win Tuesday. A 10-4 record with a 3.79 ERA isn’t half bad for a guy who has been bumped from the rotation twice on the season. Maeda has allowed a total of three earned runs in his last four starts. He might not be a mixed-league asset on any other team, but given the support he gets in L.A., he’ll be worth playing most weeks.
Godley hurled six scoreless frames to spearhead a 3-0 defeat of the Cubs on Wednesday. He struck out five batters, allowed three hits and issued two bases-on-balls in the premium outing. He kept the tough Cubs batters hoodwinked all evening while improving his record to 5-4 with a sharp 2.86 ERA in 88 1/3 innings over 14 starts. It is a major turn-around from the 6.39 ERA he put up in 74 2/3 innings with the Diamondbacks a year ago.
