Can you expand on what you feel that way?  Honestly curious.  

Maybe I am wrong but Giolito is a creature of habit and likes to go on 4 days rest.  I am not certain if he has ever pitched on three days rest...although I am not certain if Lynn has either.

I think if Giolito's stuff is not there on a given day he will get hit hard while Lynn can get by more on guile.  Similar to when Kimbrel gets hit, it is a run or two as opposed to a full blown implosion of an outing.  

I also could see Lynn being better out of the pen in a  game 4 than Giolito and then Giolito has game five. 

To me Lynn has the better makeup to be a better pitcher when the circumstances are more chaotic.  I have no science behind this other than watching them for a number of years.

Ah, got it. So when you stated your opinion as a fact earlier it was in fact just an opinion like everyone else was giving. Understood.

Lance Lynn during Fox broadcasts with AJ Pierzynski in the booth:

If Rodon can’t pitch and we’re going with a three man rotation then this makes more sense to me.  Let’s Giolito pitch on regular rest for game 5 (if needed) and limits Lynn to only one start in Houston.

I know it’s too far ahead, but if Rodon can’t go they better have a different plan than a 3 man rotation and everyone on 3 days rest against the Rays.

That’s totally fair, although I kind of meant if Rodon just can’t go this series.  Agree if he’s out all of October then everyone going on short rest is dangerous.
