I have to pick two.....
Scott Baker vs. CLE (Masterson)
Yovani Gallardo vs. HOU (W. Rodriguez)
Wandy Rodriguez @ MIL (Gallardo)
Javier Vazquez vs. PHI (Happ)
Right now I'm leaning towards Baker and Vazquez only because I can't decide between Gallardo and Rodriguez. If the latter two weren't facing eachother it would be a different story. My goal is to grab two wins out of my two starts - leaving a selection of both Gallardo and Rodriguez out of the question. I just hate having to pick between the coin toss with a seemingly 50% chance of failure. Keep in mind, Rodriguez and Gallardo just faced eachother last Sunday in HOU. Will this not favor the hitters?
Baker has the best matchup without a doubt. In regards to Vazquez, I hate any matchup against Philly but he's a great pitcher that I'd have less remorse picking than a failed selection of the SP's HOU/MIL game. I love being able to choose between great pitchers but this is probably my toughest SP decision of the season and it just so happens to fall in the playoffs. What do you guys think?
