Sox probably blew their load using their pen.
I'd like to see 4 game threes, but i dont think Cincy has it in them

I guess as of now it looks Saturday game 1 we'd be facing either RH Warren or RH Gil if it's the Yanks, and I guess LH Harrison or maybe LH Tolle if it's Boston.
Then in game 2 it's certainly either LH Crochet or LH Fried, both on regular 4 days rest. And both of them would be lined up to pitch game 5 if necessary, on 4 days rest.
Game 3 would then be either LH Rodon or RH Bello, both on 5 days rest.
Game 4 would be RH Schlittler for the Yanks, and I dunno for Boston.
I think i wouldn't overcomplicate our SP - Bieber/Gausman go 1 and 2, and whichever of them does better goes game 5.
I think i probably start Yesavage gm3, but i could see Bassitt/Scherzer getting 3 and 4 with a very quick hook available for schneider to bring in yesavage. But tbh i'd rather have Yesavage start and then Scherzer come in if yesavage is in trouble.

With Bo out, maybe Straw is the pick to go in, not Gimenez or Santander.
This year vRHP

With Bo out, then Straw actually slips into the top-9 offensive performers against both LHP and RHP (not including the small sample high babip guys Loperfido and Heineman), and he has an elite glove.
Player: Total wRC+ (vRHP / vLHP)

we sacrifice a bit of IF defense with Schneider at 2B but we put our best possible defensive OF out there. Ideally you could pinch hit for Clement and Barger in the right platoon split, but then again it's not like there's clearly better options on the bench even in thsoe splits.
and while you might want to pinch hit for Straw in any matchup just for a better hitter, there's no screaming need to do it for platoon reasons.

When it comes to fighting in sporting events, Canadians are the best at it.
The rest of the world is always surprised to learn that Canadians know how to throw a punch.

after poring over their recent lineups, and given that all our SP are RH, i figure that these are the lineups we see every game from NY and BOS, with heavy use of the platoon splits from the bench when we bring in a lefty.

I think Gimenez is ok enough vsR to get the starts there. And I don't think you lose too much defense with Gimenez SS/Clement 2B/Schneider LF vs Clement SS/Schneider 2B/Straw OF.
I might use your lineup VSL, though, maybe playing Falafel at 3B?
For pitching, yeah, it's Gausman/Bieber 1-2, and then 3-4 are basically a mess of bullpen games, so whatever order you want to throw guys in, it doesn't really matter. I'd probably just start Scherzer and Bassitt 3 and 4, given that Yesavage has pitched out of the bullpen more recently in the minors. But you know that none of those guys are pitching more than maybe 3 innings, unless if they are just absolutely dominating.
