Rotation Debation

Now that the Mets are in the World Series (the Mets are in the World Series!!!!!) with 5 days off before Game 1, the question has turned to how the Mets should set their pitching rotation.
A lot of people think they should stick with essentially what it is right now, Harvey-Syndergaard-deGrom.
But I think they should set their best pitchers first, deGrom-Harvey-Syndergaard. I want deGrom to go first because he feel he gives the Mets the best chance to win Game 1. And I do not believe in saving deGrom for a potential Game 7, as that could be a recipe for losing before you even get there.
Also, I would prefer to get Thor his first start at home, just in case there is something to his road troubles.

  1. Of course, the Mets went out on their own, setting a rotation of deGrom, Syndergaard, Harvey, Matz. Not sure why. I definitely trust Harvey more than Thor even though both have been excellent.
    Perhaps they really are trying to limit Harvey to one start.
    It shouldn't make a huge difference because all three pitchers are so good, but in a close series you can't afford to sacrifice even small edges.
