Chris Archer was blasted for five runs on nine hits over 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Angels on Monday. He struck out four and walked one. This, folks, is the peril for both contending teams and fantasy squads when depending on a rookie hurler in September: Implosions can sprout from the dirt of any mound, at any time. Over his last three starts, Archer had gone 3-0 while allowing only four runs in 21 innings. He's talented enough to trust and hope for the best in all formats on Sunday in Seattle.
