Spot Starter: Mat Latos

If super prospect turned super rookie Mat Latos is still available in your league, it's time to scoop him up. Owner of an impressive 2.78 ERA and even more impressive 0.78 WHIP through 16.1 innings in the Majors, the 21-year-old will face Atlanta's 22nd-ranked offense tomorrow. And, for those in weekly leagues, Latos has another start this coming week against the Mets' 23rd-ranked offense.



As evidenced by his 10.6 K/9 ratio in the minors, Latos can rack up the strikeouts...just one reason why he was San Diego's #2 prospect heading into the season (according to Baseball America). Fortunately for you, he's not getting the love he deserves in fantasy land, as he's owned in just 2.1 percent of ESPN Leagues. Check your wire!
