Mariners overthink starting rotation for ALDS vs. Tigers to a dangerous degree

On Friday, the Seattle Mariners revealed how they're going to begin their starting rotation for the first two games of the American League Division Series opposite the Detroit Tigers at T-Mobile Park. And whatever you thought the answer was going to be, this likely isn't it.

It will be George Kirby in Game 1 on Saturday, followed by Luis Castillo in Game 2 on Sunday. The player known as "TBD" is slotted for the other three games, though the arrangement for the first two games plus Bryan Woo's slow recovery from pec tightness leaves little doubt that it will be Logan Gilbert in Game 3.
