I can see a case for at least a half-dozen plays here, but OtB my play would be either 24/22, 18/14 or 13/9, 13/11. I like bringing the midpoint down even though it's still useful, because assuming we don't get hit on this turn, the chance of making the bar, 3 or 8 point the following turn is excellent. Any one of the three would make it easier to close in on the opponent's backgame and make it harder for them to either shift forward to something better, or recirculate checkers. However, it's also a bit looseygoose in the blots department, which is why I could be convinced that 24/22, 18/14 is better--keeps the blot count the same, and still leaves a decent chance to make the 8 or 3 point next roll.
