Oh, definitely not judging on one start. He has been getting by on some RISP magic a lot recently. Still getting the job done, but I don't think it is sustainable.
I think this is closer to the "real" Assad. The pixie dust is bound to wear off at some point. He has done a good job as rotation depth, but I don't trust him as anything more than that
And my excitement has been tempered after I just realized I actually bet the -1.5 when I thought I had bet the money line.
I'm on quite a (negative) roll. Who do we really need to lose tomorrow, because I'm pretty sure I can make that happen.
Tune in tomorrow night to see which bullpen arms are cobbled together for the final 4 innings.
Will Luke Little ever be allowed to pitch again? Probably not! Does Brad Boxberger actually exist? Maybe! Will the Cubs put Fulmer right back out there for back to back days directly off the IL? It's likely!
