The Dodgers. And possibly the Pirates if we're talking 1-4.

But comparing rotations is kind of pointless. Pitchers don't face each other, they face the other team's lineup. If we face the Cardinals in the LDS, we'll have to pitch very well every night. We can't afford a Hammel or Haren dud.

i mean Hendricks and Hammel both have FIP under 4.00, at 3.66 & 3.73 respectively. League average is 3.91, so both are better than league average.

I dont exactly want to give Haren the ball, as he gives up HR's left and right.


LAD doesn't exactly have a 3rd better option, and their bullpen may be worse than ours.

Pirates have Cole and then Liriano who can implode at any time, and doesnt really go deep into games.

i think that goes without saying. Anyone we face is going to be formidable, its the playoffs
