This is one of those better than nothing strategies. It reduces the scoring effectiveness, but they're still feeding the balls right back into the home zone for 217 etc to clean up. You'd still depend on an awesome defense bot clearing balls like mad to have a chance. Even then you'd be playing catch up once you managed to starve them of balls. It's probably possible to beat them like this, but it doesn't seem likely.
I'm thinking that with a good striker, you're not going to have any luck defensing them once they're locked in. At that point, you're better off pitting your offense against their offense. If you can knock them down to 2-3 balls in cycle, you might have a chance.
