I don't know man....Walden only has 5 next week and 3 of them come in Arlington. Niese has absolutely owned Philly, but has been on a slide of late. Ogando is also in a funk and facing one of the best hitting teams in Texas is not favourable. I'm leaning to Niese.Originally Posted by djkiang
Walden.
Niese has not been stellar in his last 5-6 starts. I lean on last 5 games pitched when I pick a guy. It doesn't matter to me if he's done well against a team during the year... things change month-to-month.
Walden has only given up runs in two games over July & August. Go with the safe bet: closer.
If you had to take a risk to get more Ks, Ws, or IP... then maybe a SP.
But I think you avoid rolling the dice on Niese.
Thanks Pengwin, solid analysis. I will go with you guys...Props.
Walden for me as well.
Wow, good take! Niese absolutely rocked. 8 earned runs. Bullet dodged!
