Despite their league-leading staff last year, MLB.com definitely knocks on the Rangers for their home/road splits and their inability to miss bats.

The Mets feel a little aggressive after their collapse last year, although Manaea in the bullpen definitely displays depth.

If they removed Mets and pirates it would be an actually good MLB ranking

Tigers feel low but maybe I’m overrating their 3-5, JV is old I get it

i know the brewers pull ace pitchers out of thin air but who even is in their starting staff other than the miz

Los Angeles Dodgers at #1 is expected….but this list is gonna be chaos by mid-season

They’re babying the pirates too much. Like one man is gonna carry them to the playoffs. NL version of Ohtani in Anaheim

Glad to see a spunky little upstart team like the Dodgers being at the top of the list this year. It’s good for baseball!

I feel like Boston should be above Seattle. Their rotation has more top end talent and is deeper with some great prospects on the way. As for bullpen, Seattle might be deeper but Boston still has Chapman and Whitlock which is pretty elite.
I’d say Crochet> Woo> Gilbert> Suarez> Gray > Kirby > Bello > Miller. But Im not an expert on either rotation. It’s just that Crochet is so excellent. He was honestly a lot closer to Skubal last year than people realize, especially bc he pitches in a hitters park in a stacked division.

Did the Mariners add a bunch of good pitchers? Last year they were 18th in ERA- and FIP-

I hope Phillies bats be hot all 2026, we need that consistency.

oh, idc about where these lists place the Tigers
you can place them at #31 out of 30 teams, and I’m good with that
..just do me a favor, and promise me that our guys can pitch on the Tigers staff, instead of on yours, against us 😁

i’m obviously biased, but you could easily put the Sox at #1 here. Can do a lot worse than Crochet-Gray-Bello-Oviedo(?)-Suarez, especially with Tolle and Early waiting in the wings.

I would definitely take Boston over Seattle. For just regular season value, I think Boston should be #1

Paul Skenes is a top 6 pitching staff in MLB

Having a largely young and unproven rotation and having just traded our ace but still cracking the top 10 is such a flex

The team with the best overall ERA last season not even making top 10 smh
