The thing for me with sea. Is I get Felix, but my opinion admittingly could be wrong is also based on bounce back year from smyly (I think his perriphels tell me he pitched alot better then his numbers plus getting some run support should help him as well, and playing in better pitchers parks.), and a breakout year for paxton two things I believe are gonna happen. I also believe a rock solid iwakuma, and a good felix round out a decent 4.
where hou, mchugh is a 4/5 the rest of the guys in the rotation are 5 or worse. outside of mccullers who has proven health issues, plus has yet to break out himself. And keuchel coming off a bad year everyone talks about felix having a bad year keuchel made felix look like he had a great year. Not enough pitching their, Because I don't like the 4th and 5th starters, their 3rd starter is fine as a #5 and their 1 and 2 starters they need a lot to break right and their rotation still has wholes. as for texas losing desmond is huge in my opinion. and beltre ain't getting any younger either so I think his drop off has to be coming soon as well. Plus I said may times texas wasn't nearly as good as their record last year, so I expect a pretty big fall for them. to me the mariners seem like the obvious choice this year in that division, but time will tell.
