I don't think splitting is right here. Patti has no midpoint, and in a move or three we may be able to just leap into the outfield instead of leaving two targets.
So, how best to shuffle checkers? 13/11 6/5 or 8/5 look viable, but I'll go for 13/10 - bring another checker into the zone, not leave any blots, keep the spare on the 8. the idea is to build a prime and wait for her blockade to crunch.
13/10

Agreed - and also, look how few worthwhile 5s Patti has right now. We don't want to be creating one by allowing her to hit loose deep in the board.
