it's been a few weeks now, but I kept Shaun Marcum on the bench for a start at Fenway when he scored more than 30 fan pts. but starts like this one and DB's Lester at Tampa are no brainers for me. okay, maybe I could've ruled out the Red Sox who were in a slump but I wouldn't start anyone against the Rays at their homefield.

and the fact that Bautista's power surge dates back to last september does make me a little bit worried but all indicates he has to slow down.
