Another year, another season where the Dodgers are the best team in baseball. It’s wild what mad money can do, huh.
OK, except it’s a bit more complicated than that. Apparently not even mad money can buy you pitcher health. Earlier this year, leading Dallas orthopedic surgeon Keith Meister, acting against interest, sounded the alarm about mounting pitcher injuries. That was back in March, and now it looks like Meister was all too right.
The Orioles will be down a full starting rotation as they embark on a rare trip to Dodger Stadium, but their opponents are missing, not one, not two, not three, but… eight starters.
