For those in fantasy baseball roto leagues who think you won, hold off another day. For those in head-to-head leagues who think they still have a shot, you can forget it. I'll explain.

The real-life regular season has one more game, likely Cy Young winner Jake Peavy facing Josh Fogg. Doesn't seem like a fair fight, does it? Well, blame the Padres for losing two weekend games they should have won. Blame the Padres if you're hanging on to a half-point lead in a roto league and don't want Monday to count. It does.
