Before the season, while discussing fantasy baseball draft strategy with a friend, we came up with a bet. He was bullish on Yu Darvish in the Cubs rotation, whereas I felt confident this year Trevor Bauer would find consistency and became one of the top pitchers in all of baseball. So, we wagered a 10th round pick in our 2019 draft on who had the better season, Darvish or Bauer, with the caveat that significant injury to either pitcher would void the bet (note: it’s not original to blame me for Bauer’s injury in the comments but please, go ahead).
