I’m not saying I will go against him but will try to make a case....
In his 5 September starts only once did he give up less than 3 runs. 5 runs once, 4 twice, 3 once, 1 once.
If he only goes 6 and gives up 3 or more do you trust Washington BP to keep Milw scoreless?
Intangibles - after Milw lost 3 in a row at Colorado, NO ONE expects them to beat Max....all the pressure is on Washington. Milw was written off when Yelich went down.
Let’s hope we have a great baseball postseason without Umpires significantly impacting results!!
