I have them both and am starting them both. They are both coming off solid starts (Beckett's was damn near a no-hitter). If I had to sit one, it would be Burnett.

I'm thinking the same thing. If you remember though, last time they faced each other it was ugly. It's tough when you know you'll be lucky to get 1 win from the 2 combined

Yeah, no doubt about that. Offenses aren't too shabby either. I'm just hoping neither gets absolutely shelled, and that whatever they bring it comes with 12+ Ks.

This is a tough call, especially when you have an inning max. It's impossible to predict who will win or lose. 2 tough lineups that you only use your studs against.

any other thoughts?

I could've taken my own advice and only sat Burnett, but I'm happy having started both of them. Better than sitting both of them.

My instincts told me to bench Burnett and i tried to at the last second. Didn't make it. He looks like he's back to his 2007 form, and it's painful to watch.

Beckett should be in our lineups no matter what. He's on his game now.
