Love days like today when there is one early game on which to focus -- and today, it's Cubs/Pirates. http://t.co/DpK2r0JtRj Another 1-2-3 for Jose Veras, who has allowed one hit in his last 11.1 IP... 1.30 ERA, 0.56 WHIP, 14-4 K-BB in last 14.1 IP since 4/17 #ycpb Entering final 20 minutes of Baseball Tonight, talking Mattingly...© 2013 Fantasy Baseball Insiders.
