Strategic Spot Starters: Weekend Edition

If you've noticed the lack of activity on the week, I'll mentioned that I am on a week long internship and should be back posting too much too soon. But for now you'll have to settle for the staples while I entertain myself with alliteration.

Friday: Manny Parra is starting to seem like a bit of a sell high since he's so young, but against Houston and at home should be a good bet as maybe a farewell start. I love Sean Gallagher, and at home he is always a good bet. Aaron Cook is good at pitching in hitters' parks, and could be a good option against Cincinnati. 

Saturday: Jon Garland at Baltimore is probably good for a win since the Angels are a good team on the road. Derek Lowe might be auditioning for a trade, and a home start against Washington could raise his stock. I keep waiting to Jesse Litsch to cash in on a good start, and while he's disappointed me thus far, playing against Seattle should be a return to form.

Sunday: Clayton Kershaw against Washington is maybe the only start with much upside, though he shows a need for further polishing. Still, if you need someone to go in weekly leagues, he's probably the guy you want.
