Pitch Or Ditch can be a very successful strategy, especially in Head-to-Head Leagues if you can predict a starting pitcher's performance.
From today to the end of the season I'll be recommending the starting pitchers who should pitch (in bold) and the ones you should ditch.
Probable Pitchers for Saturday, May 2
Matt Palmer (LAA) @ CC Sabathia (NYY)
Roy Oswalt (HOU) @ Jair Jurrjens (ATL)
Tim Wakefield (BOS) @ Jeff Niemann (TB)
Jeff Niemann’s ERA improved from 10.12 to 4.43. He should be fine as long as he has good control.
Jose Contreras (CWS) @ Brandon McCarthy (TEX)
Anibal Sanchez (FLA) @ Ted Lilly (CHC)
Aaron Laffey (CLE) @ Zach Miner (DET)
Joel Pineiro (STL) @ Shairon Martis (WAS)
Brad Bergesen (BAL) @ David Purcey (TOR)
Jason Marquis (COL) @ Matt Cain (SF)
Oliver Perez (NYM) @ Jamie Moyer (PHI)
Dan Haren (ARZ) @ Braden Looper (MIL)
Micah Owings (CIN) @ Ross Ohlendorf (PIT)
Ross Ohlendorf has shown tremendous control so far. Cincinnati is not the best hitting team which could result in a good performance for Ohlendorf.
Brian Bannister (KC) @ Glen Perkins (MIN)
Trevor Cahill (OAK) @ Jarrod Washburn (SEA)
Chris Young (SD) @ Randy Wolf (LAD)
I’d play Chris Young if he hadn’t pitched so poorly at Coors Field. He doesn’t seem to like Dodger Stadium much either and I can’t afford to have two bad games in a row. I’ll bench him tomorrow.
