Dinelson Lamet / Rotation advice
-
Do not throw Maddux on higher ranks, lack of velo will get crushed. But then everyone in my rotation has a 7-8 era so I don’t really know
-
Work on prestiging Kershaw, Darvish & deCrom
overlooked are the prestiged Zac Gallen & Lance Lynn
keep Gibson, I mentioned adding Scherzer & Cliff Lee but another good move would be to swap SP John Smoltz with the CP version for your bullpenyou can go WS with a pitching heavy approach

I just had a buy order go through on Scherzer, so I'll give him a shot at some point. Is CP Smoltz any good? I have him but haven't used him yet. For righties my go to guys have been Rivera, Jansen, Gagne and Gallegos. Popular opinion seems to be that Gagne isn't nearly as good as in 19, but I haven't had any trouble with him yet.

I replaced Gagne for Smoltz after comparing the two, as they have similar pitch mix
Both are fastball, splitter, change-up
but the deciding factor for me was Smoltz slider vs Gagne curveball & throw in the fact Smoltz has slight faster 4 seam
Nothing wrong with Gagne at all but when you have to choose 1 for role, go slightly more dominant.. but honestly personal preference at this pointadd Devin Williams to the mix & Gossage is great too if you get a chance
Gallegos is super -

I play in HOF difficulty the majority of the time and Maddux has been lights out for me. If you can’t use him on high difficulties than maybe you need to reassess your ability to pitch.

having success with Maddux has more to do with individuals pitching style/approach not necessarily ability to pitch

You just defined ability, thanks for making my point

I have never used Maddux online because I raked him every time I faced him. I’ll be the first to admit tho that I am a terrible pitcher and rely solely on offense to win games

Post Season Strasburg is a machine for me. Give him a try

If you intend on competing in higher ranks and not just all star/CPU then I'd advise switching Gibson out. He's super easy to read.
Hersh Darvish Maddux Lamet over Gibson.
Idk about this take.. if anything Bob Gibson is one of the better options out there, especially on higher levels. Easily carves through CPU as well.
Just had him dominate my last 2 WS runs so I would keep him well rested next oneThere isn't a universe in which this game exists that I'd pitch Gibson over any of the aforementioned names in a deciding game, I definitely stand by this. As for CPU any SP with high per 9's will work if you're halfway decent...
