Villanueva's starting experience, the fact that in five games against Washington, Villanueva has held the Nationals to a .133 batting average with a 2-0 record and has allowed two runs to them in 12 1/3 innings.
Villanueva is 2-7 with a 6.18 earned-run average in 43 2/3 relief innings. The last time he started a game was May 18, 2008 at Boston when he allowed six runs in five innings.
Villanueva is bad enough, and has gone long enough since starting, that he might pwn us.
