Help Pick a weekend Starting Pitcher

[kcs261]

I have to pick one of these guys to start this weekend. You decide.

Lohse (Min) @ Burkett (Bos)
-Lohse cold and on the road in Boston.

Ohka (Mon) @ Stephenson (Stl)
-Ohka just got rocked and playing on road against stellar Stl offense.

Foppert (SF) vs. Wilson (Cin)
-Foppert's velocity still down, but against Cincy.

none are particularly appetizing, but I like Lohse. He's been hit the last two (of course I started him in each), but he has good ratios and K rates, so I like him.

Ohka is OK. (sorry, had to do that )

Floppert, until he shows me more, is not a start yet. Although, if he is in SF, then he could get the nod. If he is in the Great American Airport, then don't start.

I'm with you. This is a tough call. My other starters should be okay this weekend, I think: Pedro, Vaz, Brown, Ramon Ortiz, and Ainsworth. But coming up with starter #6 in my league is tough. Our league is really different than most. We can start 6 starters, or 6 relievers, or whatever combination. It's a head-to-head points league. But since all my relievers sucked, I dumped them, picked up starters, and go with 6 of them each week instead. So far it's worked real well (I'm in 1st place). And at least I know that the pitcher will get an appearane (as opposed to relievers who you never know when they got a save opp). But I really have to play matchups with the final two spots.

Nothing harder then picking pitching matchups. Ohka had 1 bad game, but has looked good. I would go with him.

i'm not picking lohse or ohka because of the offenses they are playing. I'm not really high on foppert but i think I could beat the reds with the giants offense behind me !

That's the ony thing that makes Foppert attractive. I would think SF could beat Cincy... although Cincy has some guys who can go yard at any time.
