Is Baseball Fooling Us Again This April?
About this episode
Eno, Britt, and DVR break down a wild night in MLB — 37 home runs across the league. They dig into what's driving the power surge, including how much the weather is playing a role. Then it's Mason Miller's dominance, the Nats' revamped offense, and why Marlins pitchers are missing more bats than they did a year ago.
