Line up Help - Last day of H2H matchup

[ZoomVT]

hey guys im on a tight matchup and today is the last day. I lead all week, but last couple of days he caught up and now is winning 4-3.
this is the score:

Score R HR RBI SB AVG W SV K ERA WHIP Total
Opponent 26 3 22 3 .272 3 3 44 2.81 1.29 4
ZoomVT 24 6 22 4 .270 3 3 40 3.04 1.04 3


I have a few questions.

I have 4 SP today, he only has 1, should i start them all and have a huge advantage in K, W? but risk blowing WHIP and ERA? He has Shields (vs NYY), and i have Halladay (@HOU), Verlander (vs CLE), Buehrle (vs MIN), and Jackson (vs McCutchen)

My lean is to sit Buehrle and start all the other 3. thoughts?

i also have questions with my lineup.
i have 3 OF spots. Fill it with?

Lind @BAL (Millwood)
Ethier @FLA (Sanchez)
Abreu OAK (Braden)
Ibanez @HOU (Oswalt)
Rivera OAK (Braden)
Young PIT (McCutchen)


finally, i have 2 Util spots open. fill it with the above OF leftover, plus Ortiz, Scutaro, Pena. Red sox are playing Gil Meche coming off the DL, Pena is playing AJ Burnett and the yanks.


thanks for the help!

agree with ur thoughts on the pitchers. would start Lind, Young, and prob Ethier. For the util spot I would use Scutaro and maybe Abreu. Dont like Ibanez and Pena both can give you the Hr rbi but might kill ur avg. Ortiz might be turning the corner so he is a good idea instead of either Ethier or Abreu.

ethier is most likely sitting today. check lineups before starting him.


play halladay and verlander guaranteed. not sure about jackson, he is prone to getting lit up...buehrle isnt going to get you alot of K's

thanks for the feedback. I think Ethier will sit but ill keep an eye on him.

Im tempted to start Ortiz against meche coming out of the dl.

I don't see the pirates hitting Jackson but he already had a mediocre start.

FML Verlander. single handedly going to blow this matchup for me.
