He's exceeded his career high innings pitched total by more than 50 this year counting post-season. Then again, he jumped it by more than 60 from 2021 to 2022, so it seems like a reasonable progression. In any event, this is his last shot for the season, win lose or draw--absent a Game 7 Randy Johnson-like late relief appearance-- so he should be burning everything in the tank, including the fumes.
