In a best of 5 series, who are your first three starters, assuming Pedro is healthy and showing signs of being the ace? Tough call for sure. I think El Duque has to be #2, given his success this season and overall post-season success. For #3 is Glavine's veteran presence enough for you to give him the nod, or are you concerned his pitching ability just isn't there anymore (especially if he's got an ump calling a tight strike zone, totally negating his usefulness)? I might have to go with Maine #3. When Perez is on I'd put him up against anyone in the rotation, but he's still proving to be too erratic. I'd probably go Glavine #4 leaving Perez as odd man out, unless Pedro is no good.
One good thing: both Maine and Perez were called upon to pitch in extremely high-pressure playoff situations last year, and both came through. So at least it won't be their first go-around this year.
