Strategic Spot Starters: Week Edition

Again, I'm a bit rushed, so I'll head straight in. Forgive me, and after this week we should be back to a more regular schedule.

Monday: Jon Lester, with Safeco behind him and the Mariners in front, should be good for a win and a several K's. Jesse Litsch, if unowned, is also a good start against Baltimore.

Tuesday: Darrell Rasner and Jason Bergmann aren't especially great pitchers, but against the Twins and Giants they should be provide some value in an empty early week.

Wednesday: Mike Mussina is worth consideration against the Twins, while Jeremy Guthrie (vs. Tor) and Ricky Nolasco (vs. Atl) are riskier options with some upside.

Thursday: Tim Redding at San Francisco isn't great, but it's the best their is. I feel somewhat guilty that I'm in a rush, because honestly their aren't many great starts. A lot of usually marginal pitcher are heading to hitters parks, so you'll have that.
