This is how baseball breaks your heart. You win 3 in a row, look good doing it, and you think 'ok these guys are pretty good, they can go on a run and compete'. But they aren't, it's just baseball and in a long season even mediocre teams will look sharp for a few games here and there.
Still, winning is better than losing. And don't give me that draft pick shit this isn't the NBA, draft order is close to meaningless most years.
