Why?

Because teams don't end up pitching when it matters the most in the postseason with the guys usually that you have in the starting rotation, case in point.

the world champion Dodgers.

I don't know if you know this.

The Dodgers won the World Series, and they did so with Yamamoto being the only one pitching over 170 innings.

The next up was Clayton Kershaw at 112 in two-thirds innings.

After that, the only pitcher of their starters who pitched over 100 innings was Dustin May, who I don't know if you know this,

But he was traded the trade deadline.

So the point is, is that you're bobbing and weaving your way.

And as our co-founder, Joe Kelly, had said, revealed about the Dodgers, they're just wait and wait and wait, manage, manage, wait, manage, wait, manage.

until you get to the games that really count, and then boom.

And that's how it was with the Dodgers.

Now, not every team's able to do that, but it is the lesson about if you can bob and weave your way through a season with a bunch of pitchers, with the guys at the top who are going to carry you, that you can rely on, that you can stop losing streaks, that you can build winning streaks with.

If you can do that, then fine, you get to the postseason and you're set up.

But not every team was able to do that.

So in other words, there's a lot of ways to look at this.

You would like to say the Dodgers are the ultimate example.

That's true.

But another ultimate example when it comes to starting pitching is the Toronto Blue Jays.

And the Toronto Blue Jays, they were actually 23rd in war last year.
