Washington (Strasburg 1-5) at San Diego (Volquez 3-3), 10:10 p.m.

Here’s who I like — and don’t:

Must start
Can you believe Stephen Strasburg is 1-5? I’m still going with him. … Others to go with include Alex Cobb, Justin Verlander, Yu Darvish, Mat Latos and Adam Wainwright.

Good start
I like Andy Pettitte vs. the Mariners about as much as I dislike Aaron Harang today. … Jerome Williams is a nice option if you’re streaming. … If you’re a White Sox fan, I could see giving Jose Quintana a shot.

Neutral
I think the Nats get by Edison Volquez. … I’ve dropped Cain big time today. He’s struggling and at Colorado. … Jhoulys Chacin has a good ERA, but I’m leery in Colorado. … Jose Fernandez has been solid for Marlins’ standards, but I won’t go with him. … I still want to see more from Francisco Liriano before I jump on board. … Hiram Burgos might get an avoid, but the Brewers manage to play well vs. the Bucs.

Avoid
Don’t like Jon Neise at the Cards today. … Repeat: I don’t like Harang today. … Feeling lucky? Felix Doubront has a 6-plus ERA.
