Is this a bug due to Holm having better stuff or something? I'd like to keep things as realistic as possible with pitcher selection.
Thanks!

The first thing to check would be to see how rested the other pitchers were on Day 1 of the series. It is usually highest rested and maybe skipping the lowest pitcher due to the rest days. It is possible that the AI has made seen the young Victor Holm develop organically into a great pitcher. He never made it out of the minors irl and may have made-up minor league stats for him to leverage and develop on.
