Camargo in vs a RHP to give Riley a rest. It looks like Snit just doesn't get it. Camargo is terrible as a LHH, so Joyce should be getting spot start vs RHP in place of Riley.
It's these small advantages that add up over time that leads to teams being great. The Dodgers have an optimal lineup construction plan, deploy it consistently, and therefore it becomes the norm for the players involved.
Now even if the Braves wanted to go platoon heavy in the playoffs, the players wouldn't be used to it, and it likely won't be as effective.
