Canada's Team (20-14) @ America's Frauds (20-14) GDT (3/3)

Man, what a get well series. Belt and Varsho breaking out recently is massive. Hopefully vlad is back tuesday.

Last 7 games… 9 runs for, 44 runs against. Crashing down to earth nicely.

 

In their defense, they also faced maybe the two best teams in baseball. They were bound to regress heavily though.

Just looked at their opening month schedule…it was pretty soft overall, maybe not so surprising they got off to such a good start.

 

7 x Cinci (5-2)

3 x Boston before they did anything good (3-0)

3 x Houston (1-2)

4 x Cardinals (2-2)

3 x White Sox (2-1)

3 x Rockies (3-0)

3 x Dodgers (1-2)

3 x Nationals (2-1)

 

Then they just went 0-6 against Tampa and Toronto. Looks like the only team they might have surprised was Boston, but that was the second series of the season when Boston was 2-1.

 

That said, the fact they’ve beat all those bottom dwellers probably indicates they won’t be a bottom dweller themselves, but maybe closer to the middle of the pack.

 

It should also be said there’s only 6 teams in the NL with a positive run differential, and that list includes the Pirates. NL looking very weak overall aside from Atlanta and the Dodgers. Not sure yet what to make of the Cubs. They’re underperforming their run differential by quite a bit.
