You need 4 starters in the playoffs. It will be Woody, Burnes, Peralta and... Lauer has been great in September. 4 starts, 24 innings, 23 K, OBA .136 and ERA of 1.09. He faced Atlanta once in relief and didn't pitch well, 3 innings, 3 ER. Houser has been great in September too though. 4 starts, 25 innings, 18K .182 OBA and a 1.80 ERA. He faced Atlanta once as a starter. 3 innings, 2 ER.
If we're just going by recent pitching Freddie has a 4.08 ERA in 4 September starts. He's been worse than Lauer or Houser. BUT he did have one start against Atlanta, 6 IP, 2 hits, no runs.
My guess is Houser is the 4th starter against Atlanta unless CC wants a lefty. Or maybe they use the opener approach in game 4 depending on how the series is going. Or maybe we sweep or get swept and there is no game 4. Or maybe we face the Phillies not the Braves. Or maybe we're the wild card team
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
