I mean the Astros losing Verlander/Valdez would hurt, Brewers losing Burnes/Woodruff, Cards losing Wainwright/Mikolas


Hurts every team including the Braves when you have your top 2 less often. Teams that have solid depth (which the Mets do) will benefit along with teams that have a strong bullpen. Issue becomes if you have to go to your bullpen early you could lose a fee key guys for an important game later.

Yes it hurts everyone but the team with the best 1-2 punch is impacted most. Would anyone disagree that Scherzer/deGrom is the best 1-2 punch?

I think fewer days off always rewards depth. No coincidence that the Dodgers won their only WS in a no days off format. Braves pen was worn down by game 7 and Dodgers still had a fresh Urias down there.
