New York Mets (Matsuzaka) at Pittsburgh Pirates (Worley)
Matsuzaka is a pass. The Mets lineup really depends on how Worley is viewed. From 2010-2011, Worley had over 144 innings of sub-3.00 ERA baseball. He then sucked for two years. He’s been very good in his only two starts this year and that makes him enticing for tonight. Worley, for whatever reason, put up his best numbers when he was more of a fly ball pitcher. He’s been exactly that in his brief appearance this year. I’ll take the risk because the options tonight aren’t great. I do like Pittsburgh’s chances of going off against Matsuzaka, though. Walks have been a problem for him as a starter and that’s an issue against a very good Pirates lineup.
Vance Worley (SP) – $12,804
Andrew McCutchen (OF) – $7394
Russell Martin (C) – $4958
Ike Davis (1B) – $5025
