Taillon has 2 more starts he can make and Boyd has one or two if they let him start the last game against the Cardinals (probably wont). So, if he doesn't make that last start, that'll give him 9 days off until game 3 of WC playoffs. Maybe that'll help him
Taillon is making a case to get that start, especially if he finishes strong in his next 2 starts and if Boyd struggles against the Mets, but im going to guess Counsell will lean on Boyd for that start with Taillon ready if needed early.
