Well, the QF play is 8/2 6/5*. Yellow's gammon value is elevated while Black's is reduced. Black has a blot in his board and another outfield blot that might get picked up. Yellow is behind in the race and is looking for a way to turn the game around. So all that makes 8/2 6/5* plausible.
What is the alternative? 13/7 8/7 doesn't seem to help Yellow's cause so the main alternative seems to be 13/12 8/2. But I'd estimate Yellow's winning chances at around 30% after the quiet play, which is to say not very good. So I would banana split. I think that's the DMP play and the lopsided gammon value should mitigate the gammon losses.
