51 | The Cy Young races are alive; Do the Braves own the best starting rotation?; Why the Yankees aren’t playing Peraza

David, Justin and James touch on both Cy Young races and explain why players like Max Fried and Dylan Cease will have a chance to change the narrative for the award during the stretch-run. The crew analyzes Spencer Strider’s recent 16-strikeout performance and wondered whether it was the best pitching performance of 2022. Do the Braves have the best rotation built for the postseason? What do the Dodgers do after they clinch everything? Why haven’t the Yankees started Oswald Peraza every day? Also, the crew discusses The Athletic’s interview Joe Maddon, as he sounded off on how front offices handle analytics. Plus, Zac Gallen’s streak, Hunter Brown, Kody Clemens, ‘99 Pedro and this season’s home run chase.
