A.J. Burnett was the latest beneficiary of getting to pitch against the most fantasy friendly team for opposing starters, working eight 3-hit shutout innings in Baltimore.

While we didn’t quite get through April with no rainouts, we might get out of the month with every postponed game having been made up already.

So Pujols might get back-to-back days off.
