If Baltimore gets early leads that is on us. We are putting the game in our SP's hands which is what we want. We don't have too many successful late inning rallies anyway.
Because our pitchers typically go six strong before the bullpen blows in the 8th. If we get six strong we can go to Hendriks immediately who is rested.
And you can say that about other teams too. The Yankees and Astros have had injuries. The Rays had some issues. The Twins and As have had big injuries.
