ok, finally made the finals in a league, just barely.

going into the finals, I do not have home field. the team I am facing is slightly weaker vs R, and I only have 1 LHP (Harden, [u:c570fd706d]Kazmir[/u:c570fd706d], Sheets, Contreras, Bonser).

now I have Sheets and Harden going 1-2, so they can pitcher games 6 and 7 if necessary, especially since the team is better vs LHP. But he has Ross injured for game 1. A good time to sneak in Kazmir. But then if the series goes more than 5 games, I lose that advantage I gained.

so which way to go..... ?

Not knowing what ballparks you're playing in, I'd say go with Sheets and Harden 1 and 2.

I agree...why sneak in Kazmir for gaining advantage over just one batter, when his overall team is worse vs RHP anyway? I'd say get in as much overall RHP pitching as possible...Sheets and Harden in 1 and 2

that's the way I have it now....

Just was thinking that without Ross his team is ever so slightly better vs R (Ross kills lefties bad), so that would be the best time to put in Kazmir.

I'll leave as is :P
