Weirdly, this team will almost certainly finish with fewer wins than last years team but I much much much prefer this team. Maybe its because the way the 2018 team played down the stretch was so bad. This team has furious hot and cold streaks, more than the average MLB team (no dont show me numbers I know I'm right) but when Kimbrel comes through and if the starting pitching stays strong, they'll be more than fine. The division playoff and WC game sucked but they finished 34-22 from August-Sept, 18-10 Aug, 16-12 Sep. that’s not “bad.” It took a team playing at like 140 win pace for ~40 games to make it “bad.” they were bad
