Ok I can give my opinion. This is general don't know your scoring system or if your playing Roto or H2H.

I chose Neise for the simple reason he has pitched very well this season, 2 starts ago against the Yanks he pitched 7 innings with 6 K's no runs allowed and a ND.
Yes he had a rough outing in his last start, it happens, but over all his numbers have been solid. Last thing the Yanks will be on the road and without the DH.

Now if I had both Neise and Pettitte I would most likely start both, for the simple reason you get a well pitched game on both sides, -3-2 Yanks win. Pettitte gets the win and Neise K's 9 and gives up zero earned runs. Don't cheat yourself if your league has a minimum number of starts you should be about +5 about now.
