Setting Pitchers to go deeper/CG 2017

Okay, I am still new to the online version of Strat.

Here is my team: https://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/1498409 Specifically I have 4 * starters, Scherzer, Greinke, DeGrom, and Z. Davis. There was a team in my prior league that was pretty similar -- https://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/1494138.

On the prior team, his 4 main guys got 83% of the total innings. I know Z. Davis won't be a big inning guy, but I would like to set up my "pitching preferences" to essentially mirror what happened on his team: starters get most of the innings, and use my top two relievers more. Note he has 2 relievers who barely pitched! (and he only had 4 relievers.)

I DID send the manager of that team a message and asked him, but no reply. Can anyone assist with this?
Thank you!

set your 3 big guys to slow hook and don't remove before F8 (you can go lower if you really want them to try to get CG even with bad games).

Set all your RP not not come in before 6th inning or later.

Best you can do.

Don't forget Team Strategy set to Relief use Conservative and Closer regular. There are times when I forgot and the default is Aggressive relief and Max closer.

If you are going with this strategy you have too much money invested in your bullpen.
