Liriano, Scherzer, or Smoltz?

Of the three, who would you take in a 12 team H2H league? Normal Cats, counting losses

All 3 were available in my smaller money league, I grabbed Smoltzy. He's on best team and we've seen how good he can be. I'm giving him a shot.

Pretty darn even...Scherzer seems the best bet, but w/ the losses counting & a fresh Smoltz, I might take Smoltz. Tough one, Scherzer looked good early & has looked good since getting shelled by Atlanta

I like Scherzer. Grab him. I would not be surprised at all if Smoltz dominates when he returns, but who knows if and when he'll return and how long he'll last. Scherzer is the man and has a very high ceiling.

Heres mine

First off thanks again for the help on man. Man I like all these guys and have owned all three in the previous two fantasy baseball seasons.....that being said I think I would go with Smoltz. I believe Smoltz is the highest risk/highest reward pitcher out of the three. I believe that he is ready to go and is on a team that will be in the playoffs, more than likely, which means he'll log some meaningful innings. I think Smoltz is the best bet. Again I like all three but he would be my choice.

I would go with Scherzer. He may hurt you in losses, but I feel he has the most upside.

Liriano I think is going to turn it around, and can be dominant if he does. Smoltz is the safest, and Scherzer is the best pick in a keeper league. But I would go with liriano.

Smoltz is the safe bet. but if you think liriano can turn it around then keep him. liriano is risky, kinda a risk/ reward player right now bc u know how dominant he can be
