Take St. Louis RL and ML
Mulder is rested. Halama should be a relief pitcher only.
Halama is not an overpowering pitcher, relying on a fastball that usually is in the high 80s and needing good control of his assortment of breaking balls and offspeed pitches. His problems as a starter come when he tries to get through the lineup a second and third time, as he tends to tire after about 60 pitches. He's got a good move to first, and was errorless in 16 total chances last season. ERA is good as a relief pitcher but over 5 as a starter.
Jump on this now. I suspect that Washington will use the bull pen when he tires- they have been effective.
Back later this morning
