The 2019 post-season was less lucky than making the playoffs after 19-31. Eaton, Cabrera, healthy Strasburg, Hudson finding it and being available, Robles's soft contact balanced out by BABIP luck, Kendrick staying healthy and even just him deciding to play after his injury the year before, finding a way to get by with old catchers. Those are all long shots for the regular season, but once they got to the playoffs, those guys and a healthy Zim were formidable. Also, the ability to use starters in relief allowed them to more or less not give meaningful appearances to any relievers other than Hudson and Doo.
