Which player would you want playing CF vs a LH SP in the Playoffs?

[Say O!]

Who is this nameless LH SP?  

Using just AL teams:

BOS, MIN, SEA = nobody

CLE = Allen (and Cowser tagged him)

HOU = Framber

NYY = Rodon, Cortes

So aside from NYY, there is limited amount of LH arms.  And in terms of the NYY starters, I would prefer a guy like Cowser who will work the count and perhaps take a walk, particularly against a guy like Rodon prone to wildness.

You could play Hays in CF but then you would still have either Cowser or Kjerstad with a left on left matchup. I would assume the idea of playing Hays is to bench Cowser. We haven't seen enough of Kjerstad to know if his bat would be worth the defensive downgrade. 

Pham and Pillar would bring the same conundrum if they took Hays' spot. I would not want them over Cowser or Kjerstad.

Kjerstad did hit LHP in the minors but has all of 6 AB's in MLB.

This is why I wish the Orioles would give Westburg some run in CF. He has the straight-line speed for it, no idea of how it would play out overall. Hays is not a good defensive OF at this point, playing him in CF is not worth it, especially as it also means playing a second below avg defensive OF in LF. With what we currently have, Cowser is the best option

Mateo? By playoff time, maybe we have Holliday and Mayo up and don’t need Mateo as much in the infield. If Mayo can borderline capably handle 3rd, infield of westburg gunnar Mayo, outfield of hays Mateo and Santander. 
 

obviously would require some roster changes, but potentially better than running cowser or Mullins out against tough lefties

Framber, Rodon, and Cortes. The Yankees and Astros are two very likely opponents for the ALDS and ALCS.
