What teams would you target at this point as teams who will play most of their guys? Until now I have been looking for guys on the four teams fighting for a spot, plus the astros since their new manager will be trying to impress.
Now that the twins and braves are going to be out of it, what teams are a good bet?
Guys,
quick Q: Is Zach Duke worth starting against CIN tomorrow, I need Ks and Ws…
Any other suggestions?
Greez and thx!

akachazz,
Hard to say but don’t count out the Twins just yet! You definitely have the right idea though. Twins and Tigers are probably your best bet at least for the next day or two. Unlike last year, almost all of the postseason teams have already been decided heading into the final weekend so it’s tough.

D,
If you’re not at risk of losing points in ERA and/or WHIP and have the innings, that’s fine. However, I don’t think Duke is a great pick. He’s not a strikeout guy and isn’t exactly a good bet for a W pitching for the Pirates. Better options might be available but if this is the best you can do, why not? At this point in the season, you need every counting stat you can get.
