Answer 1

Yes, start them both.

Answer 2

Well, if you can start them both. However I think you are saying you can only start one. Verlander I believe has been under acheiving this season a little bit. I think you should choose Santana here.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

calming situation for Santana against the Yankees.... he is still undefeated against them (4-0) in nine career games, six of them as starters, (2.98 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) striking out 40 batters in 48 innings.

bothersome situation for Santana against the Yankees... in his first start as a Met pitcher over a month ago, he gave up 4 runs and 3 homers in less than eight innings. but got away with a W against Pettite in that match-up.

calming situation for Verlander against the Rockies... a lot. he is still undefeated against NL team in his career (8-0), including 1-0 in 2 games this season. in his last eight starts, he hasnt gave up more than 2 runs in six of those. and has struck out 7 batters or more in three of his last four games, including the last two. so obviously he is on a roll in terms of quality starts.

bothersome situation for Verlander against the Rockies... he is 3-5 in his last ten starts and this will be the first time he will be facing them.

it seems positive outweights negative. so given the situation you have right now, you have to start them today. but if you only need to start one of them, i will go for Santana.
