Worley would be my choice if I had not dropped him and had another person pick him up.............

I'm running Bronson Arroyo out there against the Cubs. Has pitched reasonably well in his last two starts, against the tough offenses of SF and STL, although he gave up too many hits against SF (9 in 5). .270 ERA and 1.09 Whip.

I think Arroyo will be good for ERA and whip should not be too bad he has done well against them in the past. Also think he has a good chance to get a win, but for me he just doesn't strike out enough guys to be a very attractive option. I think I am leaning towards Doubront against Oakland.....

I'm also going to take a shot on Dubront vs. Oakland.

Here are some possibilites for the next few days. Not saying I'm starting all of these guys, but they are worth taking a closer look at:

4/2 Ivan Nova (NYY) vs. BAL
4/3 Ryan Vogelsong (SFG) vs. MIA
4/4 Jason Vargas (SEA) vs. MIN
4/5 Mark Buehrle (CWS) vs. SD
4/5 Chris Caupano (LAD) vs. CHC
4/6 Clay Bucholtz (BOS) vs. BAL
4/7 Carlos Zambrano (MIA) vs. HOU
4/7 Joulys Chacin (COL) vs. SD

Thoughts?

I have limited transactions per week so not going to be able get as many going but Nova tomorrow is one of them also going Smyly vs white sox on Friday. I have arroyo going today because I did not get doubront in time so I am going to hold on to him for his next start against the pirates on Sunday.

The guys on Sirius is also suggesting Arroyo as a good spot start tonight

Thoughts on Arrieta vs NYY and Pomeranz vs LAD?

Both very risky IMO.

Jeff Niemann is an excellent stream tomorrow against Seattle. Ticks a lot of boxes and owned in just 10% of Yahoo leagues.

Goes against a weak offense. Pensioner Kevin Milwood takes the ball against him. Niemann has never lost to the Mariners, has excellent ratios againsnt them in his career and has pitched well this season to date. 20 k's in 21 IP against some tough teams. Nothing really to not like about this spot start so he looks the pick of the Wednesday streamers by some way.
