Help with SP selection - need to win this week (1 Viewer)

[Tiger Fan]

So if I lose, I'm done.....I've got 7 pitchers who have all been pretty good/hot lately to decide b/w:

Halladay vs. ARI

Hunter @ ANA

Piniero vs. BOS & TEX

Santana vs. TEX

Vazquez @ CLE @TB

Wells @ HOU

Vargas @ CWS

H2H, 5x5. My opponent will be getting 7 starts out of his SP. My gut is telling me to go with the bolded 5, which would give me 7. But I just want to double check myself here.Thoughts

I know that Piniero gives you two starts, but Bos & TX? Ouch.

Yeah I know....but here is my thought process (appreciate the challenge)I dug into Pineiro's splits:

Home: 7-2, 2.37ERA, 1.11 WHIPAway: 3-5, 6.67ERA, 1.59 WHIPHe allowed 2 runs in 6 IP @ Fenway earlier this year. He gave up 3 runs at home vs. TEX earlier this year.

My two alternatives are:Vargas - has allowed 1.7 more runs on the road, even though he pitched well against CWS in his only outing this yearWells - allowed 1 more run on the road, and got drilled by the Astros last time they faced him. I know he's been hot his last 4 starts, but so has Pineiro really

How do you not start Wells vs Hou? I imagine the trend of us pounding him ends.

Sounds like you've done your homework and you know your answer. Good luck.

see thought process above. Who would you recommend benching for Wells and why?
