.Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman is listed as the Game 3 starter for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Sunday, but the team is now leaning toward using Sean Newcomb in that game. It could be because the Dodgers are much more beatable when they have to face lefties on the season. Newcomb has plenty of upside (3.90 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 on the year), but he can also struggle with command (4.4 BB/9), making him a high-risk, high-reward DFS pick.

Newcomb will start Game 3 of the NLDS on Sunday against the Dodgers.

.Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb tossed five scoreless innings in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the New York Mets. Newcomb allowed one hit and four walks while striking out eight. He has a 12-9 record on the season to go along with a 3.91 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 160/80 K/BB ratio. He has been hard to trust at times and is prone to the occasional blow-up. Newcomb is an SP5/SP6 for fantasy purposes heading into 2019.

.The Atlanta Braves will skip starting pitcher Sean Newcomb's next start. Instead, Mike Foltynewicz will start on Saturday and Anibal Sanchez will go on Sunday in the series finale against the Phillies. While Newcomb has been solid overall in 2018, he's been bad lately, so the Braves are probably just trying to get him a little extra rest as they prepare for a playoff push.

.Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb allowed five runs on six hits across three innings of work in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. Newcomb has been an incredibly mixed bag lately. In his past eight starts, he has three outings where he has allowed one run or less. In the other five starts, he has allowed a combined 26 runs. Newcomb is a highly risky fantasy play at this point due to his inconsistency. He has a 12-9 record on the season to go along with a 4.04 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 151/76 K/BB ratio. The 25-year-old is entering drop territory in any league with 10 teams or less.

.Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb had an excellent bounce-back performance on Monday against the San Francisco Giants. Newcomb went six innings, allowing one run on three hits. The lefty had eight strikeouts and did not issue a single walk en route to his 12th win of the season. Newcomb has been incredibly inconsistent as of late. In his past eight starts, he has allowed one run or less in four of them. In the other four starts, he has allowed a combined 21 runs. This has made him a boom-or-bust fantasy play for the past few months. It is unclear when Newcomb will start again, but it will either be on Sunday against the Washington Nationals or on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Both of those options seem like risky propositions due to Newcomb's erratic ways.

Newcomb (12-8) allowed one run on three hits while striking out eight over six innings in a win over the Giants on Monday. He did not issue a walk.

Newcomb (11-8) allowed three runs on four hits and five walks across 4.1 innings while taking the loss Tuesday against the Red Sox. He struck out two.

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb went 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits in a 5-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He also issued five walks. Newcomb has really struggled as of late which is evidenced by an 8.15 ERA through his past five starts. The 25-year-old had a strong start to the season, but simply cannot be trusted on the mound at this point. It might be time to drop Newcomb in mixed leagues with 12 teams or less.

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb was lit up for six runs on eight hits against the Tampa Bays Rays on Wednesday night. He only lasted four innings, registering seven strikeouts while walking two. Newcomb has allowed five or more runs in three of his last four starts, which has seen his ERA rise from 3.15 to 3.85 in the span of a couple weeks. He simply does not have the same stuff that fantasy owners were getting through the first few months of the season. His next matchup will come at home against the fearsome Boston Red Sox which means he should probably be left on the fantasy bench.

Newcomb (11-7) took the loss Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven against the Rays.

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb cruised to his 11th victory of the season on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Newcomb tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and three walks while striking out eight batters. After allowing a combined 13 runs in his previous two starts, this outing was a nice change of pace for the 25-year-old. He now has a 3.57 ERA on the season to go along with a 1.29 WHIP and 8.36 K/9. While he is prone to the occasional meltdown, Newcomb warrants enough fantasy value to be owned in leagues with 10 or more teams. He also has a decent matchup in his next start against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Newcomb (11-6) allowed two hits while walking three and striking out eight across six scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday against the Marlins.

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb was dinged for seven earned runs through 5 1/3 innings on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Newcomb allowed nine hits, walked three, and struck out five. The poor performance put his record to 10-6 on the season and rose his ERA to 3.73. Newcomb was great for the majority of the year, but he has allowed 12 runs in his last 9 1/3 innings. He is still a serviceable fantasy starting pitcher in all leagues and he should fare better against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

Newcomb (10-6) took the loss Friday as the Braves fell 11-5 to the Rockies, surrendering seven runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.1 innings while striking out five.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb was surely glad to see his team break out their bats on Monday night against the hapless Miami Marlins. Being staked to an early lead surely eased his mind and gave him the confidence to pitch around his four walks and he got out of trouble a couple of times. Ultimately, the only run he gave up was a solo homer to Justin Bour. Ultimately, he went six innings and struck out five. His next start isn't as easy, facing the Dodgers in Atlanta. See how they fare in their first two games in that series before deciding whether to start him.

Saturday's Atlanta vs. Washington game has been postponed due to inclement weather. Newcomb, who was slated to start on Saturday, will now start Monday against the Marlins. This is good news for Newcomb owners as the Marlins are the second-worst team in the league against left-handed pitching. The only downside for fantasy owners is that they lose out on the potential counting stats they might have needed for this week's matchup. Fantasy baseball giveth and fantasy baseball taketh away.

This is not how Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb wanted to be pitching with the All-Star Game a little over a week away. He didn't help his cause on Sunday, lasting only 3 2/3 innings, giving up five runs, all earned, while walking four and striking out three. His ERA is now 3.44 and he's got one more start against the Arizona Diamondbacks before the break. Tread carefully.

It may have been the heat dome on Tuesday, but Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb did not look effective. When he left the game after 2 2/3 innings, having surrendered five runs on three hits, his uniform was soaked in sweat. Part of that might have been from nerves about his facing the Yankees, but it was likely the heavy humidity. His next start will be in Milwaukee, where the roof should protect him from any heat. Keep him in your lineup.

When the game was over, Atlanta had lost to the Reds 6-5, courtesy of another bullpen implosion due to the lack of closer Arodys Vizcaino. Newcomb, who gave up three runs while striking out six and walking two, was solid. He'll make his next start at Yankee Stadium, which might be a good time to sit him.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb, who has been a really pleasant surprise for the team this season, rebounded quite nicely from his three-inning disaster against Boston on May 26. His Thursday night outing saw him go seven innings, and while he didn't post any gaudy strikeout numbers - he had all of two - he gave up two runs on four hits.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Sean Newcomb may have made Mets fans think back to those years in the late 1990s-early 2000s when they couldn't solve Atlanta pitching to save their lives. He went seven innings, striking out eight and walking none. Newcomb was pretty economical, too, leaving the game with under 100 pitches thrown. He's now got a 3.38 ERA. The lefty will likely kick off the first of two games in Tampa Bay. Start him.
