19:00 - Selling High Easier / Elly De La Cruz
21:00 - Dodgers Slumping
24:00 - Some May facts
24:45 - 1. The Royals have been the second-best offense by OPS. Is this sustainable? Should we avoid using SPs against them?
31:30 - 2. The A’s, Angels and Giants have all been top-8 in OPS. The Dodgers are behind all of them. And even though Blue Jays fans want to trade all the hitters, they are above average in May OPS.
39:00 - 3. Short baseball games in Chicago right now, as the Cubs and White Sox are the bottom-2 teams in May OPS.
46:00 - 4. Only one team has been bottom-5 in OPS and ERA in May. I bet you wouldn’t guess that it’s Arizona.
53:00 - 5. The Mariners have a bottom-5 ERA. How is that possible with their starters?
