Yep. No one in the National League has an offense that can hang with the Cubs unfortunately. Giants and Dodgers have some straight up scrubs in their starting lineups.
Nationals before Ramos/Stras injury was biggest threat

Yeah. Rich Hill and Jansen have been garbage this series.
Hill barely pitched for them all year. Makes you wonder how they won so many games
Question I have about Dodgers is why didn't they go after more righty bats at the deadline? The main guy they acquired is literally one of the worst hitters vs LHP (Reddick)

The explanation Verducci gave is because Ruiz hit two balls hard against Lester in Game 1.
2nd and 4th hitter now 0-32 in career vs Lester

Ruiz is 0-16 against Lester and he is batting 4th, why?
Roberts has been so dumb this series. Also don't like Kendrick so high in the order. He sucks now

Am I that delusional as I watch these playoffs to think the White Sox are not that far off?
I don't see stacked lineups and deep rotations. Hell the Dodgers only have two starting pitchers and one of them is the definition of lightening in a bottle.
The Giants offense was abysmal and the Dodgers are not much better.
I have had same thought. Sale, Q and Rodon is a pretty nasty 3 man playoff rotation.
