Two Start Pitchers: Week Seven

A lot of weather induced issued caused cancellations on Sunday and pushed back some starters, which stings in a lot of H2H leagues for last week. Silver lining = this week. Exciting, I know. As always, you start your studs, with this week will also include Carlos Zambrano. Some sleepers you may want to consider as well include:

John Danks -- tough matchups for Danks but he's pitching more to GB contact this year and not giving up as many taters, so he's certainly someone to consider.

Justin Duchscherer -- the hardest name to pronounce in baseball is still starting for the A's, he's been an All Star in middle relief before and he hasn't allowed more than two earned in his last four starts. I'd run him out there, even if Cleveland and Atlanta aren't necessarily cakewalks.

Barry Zito -- Only for the truly foolish risky, or if you play in a Suckball league.
