Felipe Paulino vs NY and Boston

[jackb]

Paulino is facing both NY and Boston next week. Would you leave in against those two teams next week? I am in 1st place. I am fairly comfortable in Whip and ERA. I need wins and strike outs. Thanks for any insight.

I have him as well in my AL only league and will sit him, but I'm much tighter in WHIP and ERA. I think he could fare just fine against the Yanks, but I sense a pummeling by Boston.

He piles up pitch counts and those 2 teams are the best at spoiling pitches. I love what his peripherals look like of late so if your WHIP and ERA leads are quite comfortable, go for it.

[jackb]

With my fingers crossed, I am going to "go for it."

looks like he's pitched well tonight and has the lead.

had i answered this question a few hours ago, i would have said to look in another direction. i would have put his chances at getting 1 win in these two starts at less than 25 percent.

I owned him earlier this year and today was a typical start. He starts off well, maybe gives up a run or two early and then settles down. Then the 5th or 6th innings comes around, his pitch count is usually too high cause he walks too many people, and he implodes and gives up 3 or 4 runs. Until he can get the walks under control I'd stay away.

Tried to warn you...

[jackb]

"Go for it," is warning me? Crossing my fingers against the yankees. Refuse to capitalize "yankees."

You said you had comfortable leads...

Oops. Reverse the teams. Obviously they are playing Boston Red Sox next.
