Ken and Lima react to Stephen A. Smith and Jessica Mendoza arguing that a Guardians-Brewers World Series would undercut MLB's push for a salary cap during labor talks, and they call the take overblown.

Earlier, they sort through how a rainout could shake up the Game 4 starter, with Foster Griffin, Joey Cantillo and Daniel Espino as options.
