Well, I don’t want to say I told you so., but: I told you so. The D-backs “backed into the playoffs”, losing their last four regular-season games, while scoring a grand total of three runs in the process. And, guess what? It didn’t matter in the slightest. This was another case where the D-backs made a Cy Young contender look like a scrub - rather than the other way around. Brewers’ ace Corbin Burnes turned out to be the one with the long-ball problem, as he was tagged by Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte and Gabriel Moreno. He only allowed 3+ home-runs twice this season, in 32 starts.
