The conversation covers the Brewers’ ability to consistently maximize their roster, the Padres’ dominant bullpen, Tampa Bay’s deep lineup and rotation, and whether the Yankees can knock off the Rays.

Plus, the guys discuss the Cardinals’ rebuilding season and why Matt considers it a successful step forward despite St. Louis missing the playoffs for a fourth consecutive year.
