Mark Buehrle is a consistent ERA/WHIP pitcher, but even he is subject to short-run performance swings that present risk—and opportunity.

There's been an increase in the popularity of daily fantasy baseball games, where you can draft a new team each night. One statistic that some might use to help decide who to roster is how well each particular batter has performed in previous AB against the scheduled starting pitcher.

This week, we present a group of slow-starting players who we would "sell low" on, because we are pessimistic about their rebound chances.

We all "know" that hitters do better in warm weather and pitchers do better in cold weather. But is this really true? Can this be demonstrated by examining how stats vary over the course of a season? And if it is true, what are the implications for managing our fantasy rosters?
