Duke vs. NYM and Porcello vs. BOS

Should I be starting Zach Duke against NYM (Santana)? Does he have a shot?

Also, I know he's facing Daisuke, but should I start Rick Porcello against Boston's offense?

Well, the Red Sox have a lot of trouble vs. pitchers they've never faced before. And Porcello is one of those, not to mention how well he's been pitching lately anyway. I would start Porcello tonight myself based on those two factors. No matter how much video they can check out on Porcello, it's nothing compared to actually facing him. So go with him over Duke vs. Johan and the Mets for tonight.

I don't have to choose, I'm just wondering if I should start both, neither, or one.
