I would suggest re-evaluating if your SP have a good 3rd and 4th pitch. It's around the 4th inning where the opposing batters are seeing the pitcher for the second or third time. If the pitcher only has two good pitches, he will struggle to get them out

Yeah, that was my thought. Having your starters consistently blow up around the 4th inning strikes me as a times through the order penalty issue, which you’ll see when you try to use relief pitchers, specifically guys who throw one or two pitches (except, I guess, knuckleballers now) past more than 9 guys. With those pitcher types, the first time a batter sees those pitches for a second time, they get a bonus.
