Parks factor for Jason Vargas

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Throughout his time with the Mariners, Jason Vargas was a much better pitcher at home in spacious Safeco Field than on the road. After some inconsistencies earlier this year, venue once again seems to be having a major impact on his performance. The free-swinging Astros knocked him around Thursday, but they did so at home in hitter-friendly Minute Maid Park. In his previous three starts, Vargas had the upper hand, allowing five earned runs in 24 innings. But one of those starts came in the familiar Safeco Field, and the other two came in his new home, pitcher-friendly Angels stadium. Vargas' o...

Jason Vargas primed for a big week

CBSSports.com Fantasy — After a wild beginning to the season, Angels southpaw Jason Vargas has pitched more like his typical self lately, throwing 64 percent of his pitches for strikes over his last three starts. It also helped that two of those starts came at Angel Stadium, as opponents have slugged just .333 against Vargas over that span. Fortunately for Vargas' owners, he will make two more starts at his pitcher-friendly home venue in Fantasy Week 7 (May 13-19). The Royals and White Sox have been good matchups for pitchers this season, and with Vargas getting them both at home, he suddenly becomes an attractive op...
