Even ignoring the travel/matchups for WC, whoever wins Game 1 still probably shouldn't use any pitchers in Game 2 that are going to be on the playoff roster. Situation almost dictates a split. Would rather take Game 1, though.
I have to say, I don't recall anyone mentioning Soler as an option, even in jest. Which in hindsight, we probably need to start predicting deals for all of our ex-players at all times.
