Riding a nine game hot streak here into Friday, with the worst of any of the starts having come today.
Luebke was solid on Thursday and gave us six innings with just two earned runs and a flat 1.00 WHIP. Not as good as the last few days, but still a very fine start when you add in the eight strikeouts. Luebke is still striking out more than a batter per inning and gets to pitch in the friendly confines of Petco when he is home. He's definitely worth a pickup if you need pitching help in your league.
Andrew Miller was the alternate option for Thursday, and he wasn't very good. Three runs over five innings without any strikeouts isn't what you want out of a starter, but he did give you a win and that's why he was the alternate choice for the day. Getting the win makes the start salvageable.
Friday is a good spot starter day, featuring many former recommendations. We're going to go with a pitcher we've spot started for each of his last two rotation turns...
