No mention of Paxton?

Honestly, why do you need a mix if lefty and righty starters? It makes sense in MLB because you play the same team 2-4 times consecutively. In a video game it's a different opponent every time. Take the 5 pitchers you pitch the best with.

Normally, I wouldn't care. However, I'm seeing more heavy lefty hitting teams is all.

That new Max Fried looks pretty good.

I've played with all 3, and the order you listed them is the order Id put them in. I currently still use Kershaw, and I don't think he's as bad as everyone makes him out to be. Granted, I'm in the 500-600 range consistently. I also liked MadBum. His cutter is indeed nasty, and I had a streak of like 3 or 4 straight games hitting bombs with him when I had him. Luzardo, the primary curveball definitely hurts. He was hit hard in the couple games I used him. Could be user error, but his pitches seemed easy to pick up for my opponents. I prestiged Paxton, and I've had decent success with him if you wanted to go that route? Hope this helps!

Outside of Sale, I think the move should be Kershaw or Prestige Paxton. Both cards prestige bring a different element. Prestige Paxton has great speed differential as well as Kershaw but Paxton can touch 100 mph on the fastball. Kershaw once prestige will be very much the same as last year which means his fastball will touch about 98 mph. Go with the one you feel most comfortable with.

The pitch speeds don’t increase once prestiged

Lester is alright for me. Like you said, with all the great lhb people are using lefty starters isn't a bad idea. Most of those guys have great attributes against lhp though, so it is more about whether or not your opponent struggles lefty on lefty

I think they do for some. Seems like Orel prestiged has better velocity. I could be wrong though

They do increase if they are a fastball/sinker/cutter

Pitch speeds absolutely increase and some pitchers like Maddux curve decreases

Lack of a change up makes him really struggle vs righties. He has nothing to throw a righty offspeed an away outside of a back door slider

For the fast pitches they do increase, for change ups and curveballs they get slower.... -
