I'm having the same dilemma. I would normally start him just for just for his K/9 rate, however he is HORRIBLE against the Angels historically! He gave up a handful of runs last time he pitched against them, 5 or 6 if I remember correctly, but that was in Anaheim. He's 2-0 this season at home so that might make you want to start him. I'm planning on sitting him right now, because Scott Richmond and Scott Downs already pitched for me today and didn't allow a run, so I'll take a hit on K's to protect my ERA. I would also take a look at your other SP match-ups for the week and make your decision based on that. Good luck!
