Top end talent in the rotation this year and the bullpen is lights out. Even if the bats continue to struggle they will be in every game. The last couple years they had guys like Correia as their ace and Karstens as like the 3. Now you have legit talent like AJ, Wandy, Liriano, Cole, and Locke with Morton as your 6 when Wandy is healthy. It's much different make up. They may fall short of the playoffs but that losing street is done.

Yep exactly. AJ will have a better 2nd half, if Wandy comes back it will be a big bonus. Their defense is playing very well. Liriano is really the key to the 2nd half. He could be a huge difference maker.

Everyone likes to rag on the bullpen being unsustainable. It may be a little, but those guys can all pitch. The talent for the numbers they are putting up is there this year.
