Washington has Chico throwing and considering he has not pitched that badly. He pitched his best game at home against the Braves so its worth a shot here.

NOTE:I really wanted to take Capuano but the Stros have some good numbers backing them up and Oswalt is at a good price if anything I would take him. (Overall stros hit lefties 37 points higher than righties)
