But the OP is about the 5th guy…so Basallo (#1 in FG) is already counted. -
The Twins have been outscored 184-136 in those 36 games. The O’s have been outscored 160-144 in their last 36 (16-20 record). So, the O’s offense has been a little better, and the pitching significantly better. -

Pretty sure this is Meshuggah. -

This is what my lineup would be against Skubal: Gunnar Henderson - SS Jordan Westburg - 2B Anthony Santander - RF Ryan Mountcastle - 1B Adley Rutschman - DH Colton Cowser - CF Ramon Urias - 3B Austin Slater - LF James McCann - C -
Who cares, we’re getting swept regardless….KIDDINGGGGG -

I guess the question is do you believe in Skubal's splits or Slater's splits? Slater is worse against lefties this year (188 AVG, 541 OPS), which is about in line with how Skubal holds LHH. Historically he's better against lefties than he's shown this year, but historically he's been better than he's been this year (which is, well, bad). I just don't think we can put any weight on Slater's previous years of "prowess" against lefties when this year he's been just bad overall, but even worse against lefties. Obviously an extremely SSS for Kjerstad this year, but against lefties he's been better: 375/813 OPS, albeit in only 16 PA. It's a tough matchup either way. But Slater has fallen off a cliff lately. To me it's not a question of offense, though. I'd put Kjerstad in there every single time over Slater if that was the question. It's more on the defensive side of things. I reckon you're going to want a pristine game defensively. To that end, Slater is just a better defensive player. So, I'd begrudgingly give him the nod and have the OF alignment be Slater, Cowser, Santander. -
Schreiber has a 3.78 ERA, Zerpa is at 3.91, and Hernandez is 3.76. Webb, Akin, Cano, Coulombe, and Dominguez (with the O’s) are all better than that. I don’t think any team besides CLE has an elite 1-2 punch. Houston does in name value, but all 3 of Hader, Pressly, and Abreu have taken a step back this year. Coulombe when healthy is better than any NYY reliever and while Holmes and Weaver are good, they probably aren’t elite.
