The issue with Bassitt is you'd likely be starting him on the road in Game 3 or 4 (Game 4 I'd assume). I think I'd rather go Varland/Lauer. Unfortunately, I don't think you can start Scherzer. I think the only way he starts is if there's a situation where someone gets hurt or we're getting rocked and he comes out of the pen and pitches really well, which opens the door for him to start a future game. Seems unlikely.
It will be very interesting to see how they play this. Could he piggyback with Trey? I guess maybe?
