Which pitchers to start? WHIR

Postby travisjz » Sun Jun 21, 2009 11:12 pm

I need to pick 3 of these guys to start this week in my 10 team H2H league:

Ricky Nolasco vs Baltimore (Berken)
Rick Porcello vs Cubs (Harden)
John Smoltz at Washington (Zimmerman)
Joba Chamberlain at Atlanta (Kawakami)
Matt Garza vs Philadelphia (Blanton)
Wandy Rodriguez vs Detroit (Figaro)

Thanks for the help and I'll get you back.

I would go with Nolassco, Smoltz and Wandy. Nolassco seems to be back to form with his last two starts being very good. Smoltz is pitching against the lowly Nats and Wandy is pitching at home where he is very solid. I could understand if you shy away from Smoltz since this is his first start back but The Nats is a great team for him to make his comeback against. To be honest, the only one that you have listed that I would stay away from is Chamberlain. I just don't have much confidence in him. He has struggled a little recently. Please help me

Nolasco - improved outings recently, worth a start against a patchy Baltimore offence.
Wandy - Tigers offence has been iffy.
Joba - not a fan of the Atlanta lineup, in spite of some of Joba's issues.

I'd possibly suggest Smoltz over Joba, but I'd like to see Smoltz get a big league start under his belt before running him out there.
