Oct 6, 2022 · 1. Dodgers. MLB ranks: first in runs (847), wRC+ (119), wOBA (.337) and OPS (.775) Sample lineup. Bottom line: Freeman (157 wRC+) and Betts (144) are both in the NL MVP conversation, and Trea Turner (128), Smith (127) and Justin Turner (123) join them in having wRC+ marks at least 20% better than league average.

Projected rotation:Shane Bieber, Triston McKenzie, Cal Quantrill, Aaron Civale Even though this is the youngest four-man group on this list, Cleveland would rank higher if we were making this exact comparison two years ago. While Bieber’s control has never been better, his once MLB-leading strikeout rates have become rather pedestrian. That combina...
Projected rotation: Shane McClanahan, Corey Kluber, Drew Rasmussen, Jeffrey Springs, Tyler Glasnow* *Returning from injury. The Rayshave become known for their starter shenanigans over the years, but they’ve operated with the above four starters for most of the season, so their postseason plan should be pretty straightforward. Tampa Bay’s starters ...
Projected rotation:Adam Wainwright, Miles Mikolas, José Quintana, Jordan Montgomery, Jack Flaherty* *Returning from injury. Among the 13 potential playoff teams, St. Louis’s starting pitching ranks last in a lot of categories, including fWAR (9.7, 17th in MLB), xFIP (4.08, 17th) and strikeout rate (18.4%, 24th). But this rotation also improved more...
Projected rotation:Kevin Gausman, Alek Manoah, Ross Stripling, José Berríos I initially had this group ranked higher based on the strength of Gausman and Manoah—no top two pitchers among potential playoff teams have more combined fWAR (9.8). Gausman leads all AL pitchers in several key peripheral stats such as fWAR (5.6), FIP (2.42) and K/BB ratio ...
Projected rotation:Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Eric Lauer, Freddy Peralta The Brewers’ rotation has been far from a disaster, but it also hasn’t matched the exploits of last year’s three-headed monster of Burnes, Woodruff and Peralta. Not a single starter possesses an ERA under 3.00 after all three of those guys did in 2021. Burnes, the reigni...
Projected rotation:Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes Jr., Luis Severino, Jameson Taillon The Yankeeslive and die by home runs. They own the second-best home run differential in the majors (+90), behind only the Braves (+92). And yet, its rotation has recorded the worst home run rate (1.23 HR/9) among the 13 potential playoff teams. (The bullpen, meanwhile...
Projected rotation:Aaron Nola, Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Kyle Gibson The Phillies are sort of like the NL version of the Blue Jays, except with stronger options at every spot. But there are similarities between the two in that they both have two studs at the top, a decent No. 3 starter in Suárez and a big question mark after that. Philly’s 16.6 ...
Projected rotation:Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Joe Musgrove, Mike Clevinger The top three Padresstarters are as good as you’ll find in the league, especially since Snell has come on strong in the second half. But they are another team with a potential black hole at the No. 4 spot given the struggles of Clevinger, whose 5.91 FIP since the All-Star brea...
Projected rotation:Julio Urías, Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Anderson, Andrew Heaney This is probably a few spots lower than many people would put the Dodgers, given that their 2.75 rotation ERA is the best in the majors, as is their 1.04 WHIP. Urías may have emerged as the Game 1 starter in Chavez Ravine after recording MLB’s second-best ERA (1.34) amon...
Projected rotation: Max Fried, Spencer Strider, Kyle Wright, Charlie Morton Atlanta’s ranking depends heavily on the health of Spencer Strider, the rookie sensation who went on the injured list last week with a sore oblique. This ranking is operating under the (perhaps foolish) assumption that Strider can recover and resume his dominant form—the ga...

Oct 2, 2020 · • Postseason playoff picture. Anyway, here’s our new, improved and updated rankings of lineups, rotations, bullpens, defenses and benches: LINEUPS. 1. Padres. So much depth. So much talent. Fernando Tatis Jr. snapped out of his late season slump, and the Padres looked unstoppable in scoring 19 runs on 31 hits, including six home runs. 2. Yankees.
