12 Team H2H Points ESPN Weekly Keeper League. This is my 2nd year in the league, and I finished at .500 last year (11-11), but that was after a horrible start. This year, I'm currently 1-2 (though I'm down by about 50 points with 3 starts left this week). I think I know why I'm having problems but you tell me:
FYI: this is next week's lineup, which is why Cespedes is in there.

(Keepers in Bold)
I have great pitching and Outfield depth, but my problem has been strikeouts. Rosario, Rizzo, Weeks, Gomez, and (to an extent) Frazier are all killing me with their offensive Ks. I lead the league in Hitter Ks and it's not close. My pitching is great, but I'm still not doing well. Thoughts?
Also, leave you team and I will get to you. Thank you.
