I know it's kind of late on this one ... but anyone have any thoughts about this start? Philly is so hot and cold. And Volstad's a talented youngster, who you expect ups and downs for anyway. He's pitched well against Philly in limited innings (1.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 8 K's, 14 innings). I could see it going a whole lot of different ways ... anywhere from a shutout to getting hammered.
In my case I'm leaning towards sitting him, because I'm nursing narrow leads in ERA and WHIP and have a sizable lead in wins (I'm up 4-1 with my opponent having 3 SPs left). And benching him will let me freely root for all my Philly hitters (both for fantasy and real life). Anyone have any hunches about this game?
