Xavier Scruggs and Buster lead off discussing which starting pitcher on a new team impressed the most in their Thursday debut. Plus, the team to beat post-trade deadline and the Braves’ suffocating offense. Then, Sarah Langs on updating her favorite Shohei Ohtani stat, Ryan Mountcastle blasting the Blue Jays and her NL MVP ballot. Later, Karl Ravech talks about what’s at stake between the Padres and Dodgers this weekend, the Angels’ litmus test, if the Dodgers can out-hit their pitching matchups, big injuries and the biggest problem for the Phillies right now.
