Honestly just had to say it this season but yeah.....
TBH the crystal ball tells you something but not the whole picture for example....
The Dodgers look good all around but aren't in top 12 SO..... They are #1 in AVG Against..... So it leads one to believe they are counting heavily on defense to make up for the lack of SO. Other than that they are dominating in every way.
The Braves look to be pretty amazing too and have the strongest rotation in the NL and the League....... This team looks good and better than expected.....
Teams like the Rays and Nationals hold a lot of potential just waiting to be untapped but such teams still need to work on their rotation and pitching staff overall especially the Nationals.....
The Mets are leading in top 12 or better in every pitching category above short of saves so there is something there but there doesn't seem to be any real leadership in the dugout..... Maybe Soto or Lindor are anti-Glue.....
Maybe the glue was Nimmo and Alonso and others that left..... Hell they didn't even have a Postseason last year with Soto..... It's just one of those things that is hard to explain....
It's not always set it and forget it and cookie cutter shit and excel sheets and BS..... And somethings like "glue" or chemistry the math can't explain
