In part two of this two-part division day crossover, host Ryan Finkelstein is once again joined by Aram Leighton, host of the Locked On Marlins podcast.

Were the New York Mets and the Miami Marlins the two teams most impacted by having no DH this season and how do they manage their imperfect rosters without it?

Are the expectations for the Mets World Series or bust this season?

Finally, they compare the 2015 Mets and this current Marlins team, as both were built on young starting pitching. Are the Mets a cautionary tale that it could be a dangerous game to go all-in on developing starting pitching?
