Since returning from the DL - 3-1 record, 2.24 ERA... beat the Angels and held the Yankees in check - in New York...

Bottom Line: He still has some adventurous moments, like his five walks in New York or the bases loaded jam he wiggled out of the 5th inning tonight, but Dice-K has me wondering if he should start Game 3 next week.

He's been solid for four starts now. He's in great shape and has the freshest arm in the rotation thanks to his DL stint. And he's got the big game experience.

Question is: In a five game series, is winning Game 4 more important than winning Game 3?

What do you guys think?
