The Fish are going to steal this division.
Miami has enough starting pitching, the Cuban Missile Jose Fernandez is a Cy Young contender, is automatic at home, Eovaldi is a legit #2 guy, Koehler's across the board numbers are solid, and Alveraz is an innnings eater.
Look at these numbers, I mean look twice, how good has this front three been so far?
19 starts, 15 of them quality starts. Astounding WH/IP's and ERA's
Cishek the closer has six saves, been lights out 13 out of 16 appearances, is not an elite closer, but is reliable and dependable, more than a K an inning ratio, 2.25 ERA and a 1.14 WH/IP
Rock solid.
Miami Offense
5th in the majors in runs scored
3rd in the majors in batting average.
4th in the majors in on base percentage
3rd in the majors in slugging percentage.
Where are the holes? There are no holes.
They got power with Ozuna and Stanton and Jones and Satly.
They got speed with Yelich, they all get on base.............
Met's aren't winning anything, Braves are flawed, Clown boy Harper is out, Stras is so overrated it's not funny, Zimmerman the third baseman is out, Nats can be had, and the Phillies core players are like 1000 years old.
I am on record, right here, right now, saying Miami is going to steal the NL East.
