12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league using W+QS and S+H.
SP: Gausman, Ray, Kluber, Jose Suarez(streamer) and (Jon Gray-IL)
RP: Adam, Fairbanks, Bautista, Stephens, Duran and (Cionel Perez-bench)
In general, thoughts on using 3 SPs and 6 RPs in H2H playoffs? How many starts for my opponent and against which teams plus who Suarez faces are the deciders. If he's getting 2+ more starts than me then lean on ratios and S+H for the 3 points?

Re: H2H single league playoff pitching strategy
In general, there are two approaches.
1) Using what you feel is the best lineup
2) Playing defense to combat what you perceive to be your opponent's lineup
I usually lean to #1, but will consider #2 if my opponent is clearly strong/deficient in particular categories.
A major part of the approach is how the hitting side fleshes out. The more confident I am in my hitting, the more likely I am to just use my best pitching. if it's likely I lose a hitting category or two, I'll manage pitching to optimize my chance to win what I need to end up ahead. If that math says I'm in trouble, I'll set the lineup to capture upside.
