I would not use the bullpen in any situation except a blowout in game 6 except maybe a situational setup guy.
After Verlander I bring in McCullers for long relief and Morton to finish. Could sprinkle in Musgrove and Harris for a couple of 2/3's an inning work.
Everyone else in that pen is way worse than the batting practice machine. At least it doesn't walk guys.
I go for broke in gm 6 if Houston is tied or has a lead in the 6th. If they lose they can still go with Keuchel and Peacock on 2 days rest.
