The rotation for the playoffs should be Cueto Volquez Ventura Duffy Cueto has struggled in the AL Volquez has been only ok (whip in the 1.29) Duffy with an ERA 4.17 and whip of 1.40 and Ventura with a 4.24 ERA but a decent whip. They have 3 starters that could be good (Cueto, Volquez and Ventura) but are not pitching as well as they can. IF they continue pitching like that, they may have some problems in the playoffs. Now, teh bullpen. Holland has been injured, and his numbers are not good, 3.83 ERA and whip over 1.40 Davis has had some back issues and herrera has the chicken pots. Looks like they are better off with Davis closing and Herrera as the set up man? Will that rotation hold until then?
Another interesting race thanks to the Marlins winning the series vs the Mets: Washington vs Mets Washington are 4 games back, but they have 6 games between them, do the Nationals have a chance???
By the way, nice to see Cosart pitching and doing good, 4 2/3 innings, 5 hits 1 run 1 walk and 3 K's (the run was a homer, Cespedes in the 1st.
