This isn't rocket science. We can probably count on ERod to have an ERA somewhere in the 4s going forward. Those three relievers I'd put at low-mid 3's. 3 is lower than 4. We don't even need to get into the third time through the order penalty. Sometimes the relievers will blow it, but I'd put my money on them blowing it less often. The benefit of having your starter go deep is that it gives your pen a break. The good relievers don't need a rest today.
I feel like it's more than the basic math that you are suggesting. Your expected 4 ERA for ERod isn't factoring in the condition that ERod is cruising. We know what we're getting from ERod today, we don't know what we're getting from the pen. So there's a lot of variance around getting 3 relievers (or more) to combine for the 3 ERA that you're expecting, whereas putting ERod back out with a quick hook likely doesn't have much variance. But anyways, it's moot because I would have pulled ERod now that it's 6-1 instead of 3-1. I think we're witnessing the good reason for bringing in Ottavino in low leverage: he evidently has some rust to shake off!

I think the home late umpire is standing way too far off to the side, affecting his calls.

Please!!! They complain because these guys have no rest and when they have the rest they are rusty when they come back. Ottavino will just hand out runs at this rate.

That looked like it might have broke his clavicle.

I would rather see Andriese get another shot since Davis is a mop up pitcher anyway. What exactly is Andriese though? If he pitches like he did in early April, he was good. If he pitch badly because he was hurt and now is healthy, then his upside is higher than Davis.

Garrett Whitlock just said, “don’t worry guys, no rally today”.

There's been no twists and turns to the story of Garrett Whitlock's season. He's just been the best pitcher in baseball every single day of the season.

Looking forward to Schwarber in Yankee Stadium. Schwarber in Fenway Park also good.

I never realized that Schwarber has the shortest swing I've ever seen. It's like a half swing.

Schwarber a JDM replacement if he opts out? Yep, possible. I said that in the trade deadline thread. I also would love both of them sticking around.

I don't know what CB's plan for DH is. Maybe we get a rotating DH to shuffel "off-days", maybe he wants a full DH...

Or he should be able to eventually play an adequate 1B, which is also fine. I bet Chaim Bloom put a call in to Theo to ask his opinion on it.
