The Jays are not coming to Pittsburgh and that might have been the best chance for the city to see some winning baseball this year.
St. Louis is doing what it always does, quietly waiting in the weeds while winning a bunch of ball games. No reason to change the formula.
Pittsburgh Pirates
The Pirates are going to be bad again this season. It doesn’t help that their division is loaded with good teams either. They are probably the worst in the NL this season.
Josh Bell had a strong season overall but most of his damage was done in the first half. If you look back it is not that hard to pin when the league started figuring him out.
The rest of the lineup is nothing much to fear. There are couple of decent contact hitters but most nights this group is going to struggle to score.
I liked Joe Musgrove in Houston and though he would thrive in the NL. That has not been the case as much as anyone including the Pirates thought.
St. Louis Cardinals
You have to hand it to the Cards, they seem to always be in the running as they turn over their team in smart intervals.
This year’s squad looks like a pretty balanced group. Paul Goldschmidt seems to fit in as the professional he is and Paul deJong gives him some protection.
Jack Flaherty was great last season but it is hard to stand out in the NL as an ace right now. He is one though and gives the Cards a great chance in the opener.
The bullpen can be good but it would be even better if Andrew Miller finds his way back to being dominant. If that happens they might win the division.
