The Dodgers pitching staff has turned the Yankees into the White Sox.
This was the ideal time to face the Dodgers.
They have a decimated starting rotation to the point that they have to throw a bullpen game tonight.
As good as the 2024 Dodgers are, the 2025 Dodgers will be better.
It’s not just the Dodgers.
The entire National League keeps getting better.
Look at the rookie talent just this season.
I’d put Shota Imanaga ahead of them too but he’s already 30.
I’m not saying the AL cupboard is barren.
Luis Gil and Colin Cowser had fine seasons and I still think Jackson Holliday will have an elite career.
This goes even beyond the young talent.
The AL has maybe three very strong teams: Yankees, Orioles and Astros.
What if Juan Soto jumps to the NL to either the Mets or Dodgers?
The Orioles can’t win a playoff game.
The Astros appear to be decaying in front of our eyes.
Plus, Alex Bregman is going to be a free agent.
The Blue Jays seem to have missed their window.
The Rangers pitching rotation went from overflowing with riches to being a group of busted up arms.
I don’t know what the Red Sox want to be.
The AL Central sending THREE teams to the playoffs is a glitch and not a feature.
It’s not just the Mets.
The Braves were so snake bit by injuries.
I find it hard to believe they’ll be that unlucky next year.
The Phillies still have so much talent on that roster.
The Padres and Diamondbacks are already good.
To be fair to the AL, they’ve won the last two World Series.
Of course, you’re free to also see talent shifts in the off-season as well.
Hopefully, this doesn’t mean we get shitty sweeps for years to come.
