He doesn't need to be playing at a ballpark where the difference in the ERA is about one and a half for the home team.

I feel terrible for him.

But you know what?

They don't even see him on this list unless it might be the third game of the series because that's TBD.

So I like the Cubs' chances here, Marshall.

I have a feeling maybe the Cubs drop one, you know, just for math's sake.

So then you're talking about 34 and 29.

So that's how I feel.

Right, but after the three-game series against the A's, 34-29.

And then after the Giants, I still think you probably can take... Am I crazy to say you can take two or three for the Giants?

So then you take two more, and then you're 34-30.

Yeah, I can't extrapolate that far.

I just do like series by series.

And I'm like pretty sure two out of three against these teams because you're at home.

But I also thought that about the Astros.

How did that turn out for me?

How did that turn out?

You know what's wild, Marshall, is I think the two that are really at the center of the discussion now, even though the failed Max Crosby trade had so many different tentacles and side effects and effects, it's got to be one of the two from yesterday.

It's got to be either A.J.

Brown, knowing that he's probably going to be a different player once he gets to New England, and the two-time defensive player of the year, the guy who holds the single-season sack record in Miles Garrett.
