Anyone who thought this rotation was good enough and deep enough to win a division title was deluding themselves.
We’re seeing the culmination of several factors: regression, fatigue, warmer weather and especially, a tougher schedule.
Almost all of the damage this month has been done by the powerful Houston and Toronto lineups. They are very fortunate the Yankees aren’t hitting, or things could be a lot worse.
Either way, this team will need to add some pitching depth to be a strong playoff contender. And not just Chris Sale and Tanner Houck.
Will they be willing to blow through the luxury tax threshold to do so?
Excellent assessment for a “best guess,” Matt!
