What happened: MLB Network's Greg put Logan Henderson first, with Didier Fuentes second and Munetaka Murakami third. Travis Bazzana, Parker Messick and George Lombard Jr. followed next, with Payton Tolle, Bradgley Rodriguez and Lucas Spence closing the nine.
Why it matters: October shortens rotations and benches, giving first-year contributors outsized leverage in one swing or start. Rookie starters who can absorb middle innings reshape bullpen usage for a full series.
By the numbers: Messick carries a 2.55 ERA across 31 starts.
What to watch: Watch which nine crack Division Series rosters and draw starts.
