Looking ahead to the Defectors Cup (a rematch of the 2011 Finals, in which Otto prevailed by less than 10 points):
-can Puig and Kemp continue their monster streak outside of Coors?
-will Kolten Wong and LaTroy Hawkins remain human dumpster fires?
-how will things shake out with Miggy Ankle Watch, now on Day 26?
-which pitching staff blinks first?
-unlike Mr. Garrison, Brook doesn't got Shoe. How much does losing his Halo hurt his chances?
-who will get shut down (or injured and unreplaceable) first?
Playoff Points (through 2 rounds)
Otto - 1132.4 (80.89 pts/day)
Brook - 1143.6 (81.69 pts/day)
Regular Season
