Arroyo's last two outings were very solid and he has a good record against Cleveland as well as at Progressive Field. The Indians are batting .244 in their last 6 games.
Ricky Nolasco (FLA) @ Mark Buehrle (CWS) Jason Hammel (COL) @ Brian Bannister (KC) Ted Lilly (CHC) @ Colby Lewis (TEX)
Lilly has been OK so far and faces a hot Rangers team, batting .292 in their last 6 games. It is a gamble but I trust Lilly.
Dontrelle Willis (DET) @ Chad Billingsley (LAD) David Hernandez (BAL) @ Scott Olsen (WAS) John Lackey (BOS) @ Cole Hamels (PHI)
Perfect opportunity to bench Lackey. He gave up 11 ER in his last 13 innings and the Phillies are batting .294 in their last 8 games.
Tim Hudson (ATL) @ Ross Ohlendorf (PIT) Javier Vazquez (NYY) @ Hisanori Takahashi (NYM) Matt Garza (TB) @ Brett Myers (HOU) Dave Bush (MIL) @ Nick Blackburn (MIN) Joel Pineiro (LAA) @ Brad Penny (STL) Brandon Morrow (TOR) @ Dan Haren (ARI) Barry Zito (SF) @ Trevor Cahill (OAK) Wade LeBlanc (SD) @ Cliff Lee (SEA)
My opponent has Nolasco, Arroyo and Cliff Lee going today. I'm thinking those are all good starts. Fortunately I am ahead 4-1 in Wins. I'm starting Olsen today.
I'm going to be at the Angels Cards game tonight so I'll get to see Pineiro's return to STL.
