Spot start thread

I can see a decent outing for Mike Pelfrey. Granted the Nationals aren't terrible offensively, I think Pelfrey should be able to get a QS, and maybe a W. Anyone else taking a chance on him?

I'm thinking Jason Hammel against the hapless Padres on Saturday.

Marcum should be a good start on Sunday, or failing to get him, try Saunders against Oakland.

Tallet for Monday. I know, another Jays pitcher, but he did do well against Texas. He gave up homers to Guerrero and Cruz, but both are good power hitters, and Cruz has been dominating just about every pitcher so far. He also got 6 Ks and posted a 1.05 WHIP - not bad for a guy who almost nobody owns.

I really do like him pitching at home against the White Sox. If you need more convincing, take a look at this stat: in his previous games against current White Sox players, he has given up only 4 hits and 3 RBIs in 28 at bats.

Well Tallet didn't do much good... I'm thinking for today, Neimann might do the trick.

Bannister might be worthy of a consideration also. He is terrific against the Tigers, especially at Comerica Park, where he has a lifetime ERA of under 0.50.
