Folty doesn't look like 2018 Folty yet. But he has been very very encouraging lately.

Gabe predicted the rotation would be Soroka/Keuchel/Fried/Folty, but thought the team could give some consideration to Soroka's Home/Road splits and maybe start him on the road instead
DK should be the opening game starter. Pretty clear.
.748 OPS for Cardinals vs lefties and .733 OPS vs righties
Looking at the possible match up vs the Cardinals...they are 15-14 vs LHP this season while the Dodgers are 27-20 vs LHP....
Assuming that we face the Cardinals in the NLDS, I think you go DK game 1, then game 2 you go with Freid to offset on the velocity.....then game 3 on the road, you go with Soroka.

I think there is still a lot to be played out int he last 3 weeks. If the trends continue I think Folty might end up being the game 1 starter. His potential to produce a dominant outing along with his track record from all of last year would make me feel most comfortable.

I would still go with Soroka game 1. Fried has been good lately but Soroka has been far more consistent. Fried game 2. Keuchel game 3. Then go from there. If we go extra innings in the first 3 maybe we use one of Julio or Folty in those games. We could also piggyback them in a start and give each 1-2 times through the rotation.

Fried game 1 starter for me, but it'll probably be DK. Either way, both pitchers need to pitch at home. Soroka and Folty games 3 and 4 on the road.
I want soroka having 2 starts if necessary.
going off the numbers train a bit, i trust Soroka’s mentality a lot. if it’s a toss up between he and Fried, i go Soroka.
argument for Fried tho is breaking up the lefties, tho they are very different.
DK, Soroka, Fried is pretty nice regardless.

The argument for Fried is he's been our best starting pitcher in the second half by some margin.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Yeah its not even close. Fried has 7 pitcher wins to Soroka's 3. Shameful output from Soroka in the 2nd half. Even Rick Porcello has managed to get 6 pitcher wins despite one of the worst qualified ERAs in all of baseball.
If anyone is wondering, I'm turning over a new leaf. I've converted. Some Mormons came by my house the other day and convinced me that pitcher wins and RBI are the only statistics that matter and that xwOBA or WAR is of the devil.
