If you were chasing saves, and all the other closers and set-up men were taken, who of these two might you'd pick? Brad Boxberger or Wily Peralta? I realise there's a reason these two guys are still available, but as they say, beggars can't be choosers, and I have zero named closers in My Little Pony league. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

That's a tough one. I would give a small edge to Boxberger because the home park minimizes his longball weakness. Both are ratio killers, but I would look for them to go with the "proven" closer first.
All that said, if one of them is going to take the job and run away with it, it's more likely Peralta.

I have to decide whether or not to keep Boxberger at $4 in my 14 team mixed 5x5 league. We keep 9 and I don't really have 9 solid no-doubters, so he is in the keeper mix"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Boxberger overall, 2018: 53.1 innings, 12.0 K/9, 5.4 BB/9, 1.5 HR/9, 4.39 ERA/1.43 WHIP
Presumably the humidified Chase Field wasn't that tough a HR park. He allowed 4 HR in 27.2 innings at home and 5 in 25.2 innings on the road. So, worse, but small sample size. He had a 31/16 K/BB at home, which was worse than his 40/16 on the road, so maybe the ball was a little hard to grip. Lots of walks both places though.
Peralta overall, 2018: 34.1 innings, 9.2 K/9, 6.0 BB/9, 1.0 HR/9, 3.67 ERA/1.49 WHIP
Peralta allowed 2 HR in 21.2 innings at home, and 2 HR in 12.2 innings on the road. He had a 25/14 K/BB at home and a 10/9 K/BB on the road. His home park was KC, so :shrug:
I would go with Boxberger, based on his K rate and a gut feeling that that's what Ned Yost is thinking. But I'm not a huge fan of either.
