## Resource

In Episode 526, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about the WBC, and then preview the National League West. 1. The Dodgers are inevitable (and inevitably going to annoy Craig). 2. The Giants projection feels wrong (by exactly one game). 3. The Padres might be better than this (but they might not). 4. The Diamondbacks look worse the longer you stare at them (stop looking please, avert your eyes). 5. This is mostly a Rockies podcast (as you'd expect).
