1 assistant closer/setup (someone else's closer, usually a salary dump on an expiring contract)
1 assistant setup (ideally the future closer, with option years available)
2 RHP middle relievers
2 LHP middle relievers (depending on how many other lefties there are in the other slots)

1-2 long relievers (at least one with option years available)

So many teams in the current MLB setup are lefty-heavy, next time out I'll probably carry a lefty long reliever/swing man instead of 2 LHP middle relievers.
Ive also seen a couple instances of triple digit runs in a game because the AI doesnt have any relievers left. Is it possible the reliever stamina is a bit too low?
