Down and away, because it's the only place that isn't 100% coverable with that swing.  He could go the other way or pull the ball at will, fight off high pitches or low, but the outer edge was slightly vulnerable and the lowest corner had a bit of give to it.
Against a hitter with no weaknesses like Edgar (lefties vs righties, home vs away, offspeed or hard stuff...none of it mattered) you took what you could get.
Gonna be the same with Dustin, it looks like.  Throw it on the outer edge because he probably can't get it out of the park there and hope for the best.  Once you try to live out there, though, he will punish you.
That's gonna be the fun part.  Dustin's game is just brilliantly fun to watch at the plate, as he cranks up the pressure on opposing pitchers.  Get a few more hitters who can do that and we might have something after all.
