I’m opting to play the first five innings instead of the full game total considering both bullpens have question marks. Philadelphia’s relief options have been a mess with a league-worst 5.78 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP, while San Diego’s bullpen is taxed after throwing 5 1/3 innings in each of the last two games. The first five innings total is a low one set at 4, but it’s that way for a reason. Cease has been among the best pitchers in the sport when he’s at the peak of his powers, and that appears to be the case through 29 2/3 innings of dominance in 2024. All the while, Suarez is on a heater the likes of which can’t be matched.
