One of the most difficult decisions for a fantasy manager is whether to start a pitcher coming off a long absence. Most play it safe, but in the current reduced run-scoring environment, it is tempting to jam as many innings as possible onto the ledger. Specifically, Luis Castillo will take the hill for the first time this season as the Cincinnati Reds entertain the Milwaukee Brewers. There is a narrative suggesting Castillo favors warm weather and the early forecast calls for around 77 degrees at game time. The Brewers are hitting right-handers well but they're also fanning over 25% of the time. It's risky, but the aggressive call is rolling with Castillo, likely one of the top three arms on a fantasy staff.
