Why are setup guys and closers so awful?

Every night a team will score 3 or 5 runs in the 8th or 9th. These pitchers are trash this year.
Couple nights ago Red Sox scored 5 in the 9th against the Angels which screwed me.

Tonight, Red Sox lose and were -2000 live

Many are bad, which is why I find myself playing first fives more than anything.

Yep seems insane the amount of late inning meltdowns, more than years past

Had Sea ML tonight as was sure that was a loser, somehow score 5 in the 8th and win

One of the rare times Im on the right side of a meltdown.
