3-2 to play

What's best at this DMP-like score? The safe 18/13 isn't bad but only leaves 3 ways to make a 6 prime. I think 18/15 13/11 is better since it gives Blue much better chances of making a full prime within the next few rolls. 7 numbers do it right away and if White doesn't hit or enter with a 3, Blue will have lots of ways to start the 9-point while leaving just a 17/1 shot. OTOH, this play does give White 8 hitters from the bar and 2 of these are pretty strong (33,11). The other 6 hitters aren't that great for White since Blue will have ~40% chances to hit and send another checker behind his 5 prime. I think the gain is worth the risk. 18/15 13/11.
