....against a lineup that I don't think will be any good
If the playoffs started today!! Brewers have a fine line up. Lots of hungry scrappers with AAA options they don't want to see exercised. The Mets? Yeah, they weeded out some big, stupid money pitching, but that line up is still bloated. $162,000,000 for Nimmo is waayyyy to much. $50,000,000 for McNeil???
I see Pete having a monster walk-season year. Lindor has always been worth his paycheck Marte? $78,000,000?? Hard to see value for money there, IMO. I'm certainly right there with Houser, Bader and Taylor.
More to the point is the pitching staff. The Crew hasn't had a decent line up in years. Not as bad as Cleveland, but not too far off. That's not always what keeps you playing in October.
