I need help deciding on which SP I should pick up for tommorow. The four pitchers I narrowed it down to are Hammel(BAL@NYY), Darvish(TEX@TOR), Worley(@PHI, CHC), Hellickson(@TAM, SEA). I am in a shallow 6 team HTH Points league.
I'm always reluctant to throw someone at the Yanks' offense. If it's a legit ace then go for it, but Hammel I see as risky. The Yanks score a lot. While Toronto can put some runs up too and that's half of his games thus far, Min and the ChiSox aren't exactly powerhouse offenses.
The other 3 are all good starts. Hellickson loses here because he has the fewest Ks. He's a good start though. Sea doesn't have much offense. I'm putting him in tomorrow for a H2H.
Darvish and Worley are very close. I'd have no problem starting either. Darvish has the legit stuff. Tor hits better than the Cubs though so I'll take Workley. When in doubt, I tend to lean on NL pitchers anyway. If only for the lack of DH.
