#3 S.O. - 234. If he'd had his normal numbers for his last start, he'd have led the NL in strike outs too.
The Rockies only hope tomorrow is if the Padres can't hit. |
Fogg has been pretty solid lately. Plus they've won like, 16 or 17. They're easily the hottest team in baseball. Plus you're forgetting they're at home, where they're 19 games over .500. If they have an Achilles heel it's that they're 3 games under .500 in the NL.
Whatever, the DBacks have the best record, but the Cubs will probably win the NL. The NL is better this year in some ways, but when it comes to matching up against AL teams, I think the Cubs are the only team that has a chance. Colorado is a hot team, but they're really a home team and I don't think they can string together enough road wins to win a 7 game series. They can win a 5 game series against Philly easily simply because Philly just doesn't have great pitching, but against a team like the Cubs where they'd have to play 4 at Wrigley, I don't see it happening.
