Next 12 to deadline. 5 vs Dodgers (4 at LA after break and Aug 1 to begin 4 game set in SF). 3 at AZ. 4 vs. Cubs.
Deadline always brings changes. Pads, Cards Brewers, Phillies. Those are the other teams I’m focusing on. I know Dodgers will add - they will get a starting pitcher, I suspect. Can’t think Gonsolin and Anderson will continue first half pace. May might be back in August. But who knows what to expect after 1 1/2 out from TJ. Buehler maybe Sept.
Zaidi has his work cut out. If they buy (as I suspect) I think it will be depth pieces. No big splash. Realistically this team can slip into playoffs. But even with Rodon and Webb at front end, it’s hard to see them getting deep. Dodgers, Mets and to a slightly lesser extent, Braves just have too much. And will have more. Especially the Mets if and when Scherzer and DeGrom are healthy enough to pitch.
