Pitch or Ditch

One of the most efficient fantasy baseball strategies is to take advantage of beneficial pitching match-ups for your squad.  Here’s three starting pitchers that we really like during this week of inter-league play.

Tommy Hunter, SP, Rangers –

Tommy Hunter has a good season going.  In three starts, Hunter is 2-0 with a 0.90 WHIP and a .168 batting average against to go with a 2.08 ERA.  This week, Hunter’s match ups are like shooting fish in a barrel as the Texas right hander takes on the struggling Pirates and Astros.

Gio Gonzalez, SP, A’s –

We’ve been high on Gio Gonzalez for a while now.  And, Gonzalez thrives at home.  He’s 4-2, 2.90 with a 1.02 WHIP when pitching in Oakland.  This week, the Reds and Pirates come to town.  Expect Gonzalez to be 6-2 at week’s end.

Mike Leake, SP, Reds –

Mike Leake is 5-1, 3.02 in 83.1 innings in 2010.  He has a respectable WHIP of 1.40.  This week, in inter-league play, Cincy takes on Oakland and Cleveland.  That’s good news for not leaking a lot of runs.
