re: DAT 8/1: Tampa Bay (Archer) @ Houston (Fiers) 7:10 CT - Battle of the Aces Edition

Assuming everyone is healthy I think the playoff rotation is Keuchel, McCullers, McHugh, Morton. Morton seems like an excellent 4th starter for the playoffs. Just limit him to twice through the lineup. He's been money early in games. Fiers has been great and if he continues it the next two months that would change things. But I'm not sold and prefer a limited use Morton as of now.

And a playoff pen is probably Giles, Harris, Devo, Peacock, Gregerson, Martes. If Martes can get his control in check (a big if) he's got the stuff to be a dominant reliever in Oct. Hoyt is a wild card for me. He's got to figure a lot out, maybe he's tipping pitches. But I don't understand how he can have such great K% and BB% and still be so terrible. I really wanted one more good arm, but alas.
