Which pitcher would you rather face?

It's game 162. Your favorite team is in a must win situation with playoff hopes on the line. You're facing a team that is out of contention. You are down by 2 runs and coming up to bat in the bottom of the 10th inning.

The other team has already used its best relievers. So they're bringing in their 6th best available reliever, a guy with 100 career MLB innings.

A genie comes and says it will grant you the following wish. You can force the team to bring in the organization's 16th best available relief pitcher (including minor leaguers who project as relievers at the highest level) to pitch the 10th. Here is the catch. You won't have any foreknowledge or scouting report on this reliever's arsenal. All you know about him is he has no MLB experience. Which reliever would you rather face?

I’d take the known adversary.

Assuming the sixth best reliever on a non playoff team isn’t going to be on some great roll as of late.
