Back in early May, Chris Mitchell with his NL Recap Podcast interviewed Guest George Kurtz of RotoExperts.com. They broke down Week #4 in National League Baseball, discussing Dee Gordon's Suspension, Jake Arrieta's insurgence to the top of the Best Pitchers list, Aroldis Chapman's up coming return on May 9th and then got filthy deep into the National League divisional races with detailed analysis.
(Editor's note from John Sickels: due to an error on my part, this article wasn't posted as scheduled but the podcast is still worth a listen!)
