May 9, 2013Leave Jake Westbrook on waivers
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Slated for two starts in Fantasy Week 7 (May 13-19), Jake Westbrook is currently the second-most added starting pitcher in CBSSports.com leagues, trailing only Kevin Slowey. With a pair of home starts and a 1.07 ERA to date, Westbrook may look like a worthwhile addition to your rotation, but there are better options.
