Pitching, pitching, pitching....
You'd think with pitch-counts, and the myriad of specialty roles you'd have a better crop out there to choose from and consistency.
Sox (the Red ones)... Thinking Sales was solid and he gets disassembled by the Tribe last night. Speedbump but the East seems to be settled in barring some anomaly. A bunch of AL East games with the Yankees on the road and Houston at home APPEARING to be the only challenges.
Orioles - Facepalm Winning 2 games in a row is now a streak for the Birds 3 games out in the wildcard but I don't see that being a realistic expectation given the serious inconsistencies in pitching and the all or nothing offense.
Sad to see Britton's save record come to a close at 60. Unfortunate that the unwritten rule on Cy Young awards didn't give it to him last season for the streak of 47 saves a 0.54 ERA and 0.836 WHIP.
