Certainly. With Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer and Tyler Mahle no longer due back from accidents till the second half, Texas’ rotation will seemingly be Nathan Eovaldi, Jon Gray, Andrew Heaney and then two query marks that, for now, take the categories of Dane Dunning and Cody Bradford.
Partly thanks to this, the reigning World Sequence champions might per chance per chance per chance well no longer be first and even second in the pecking account for for this three hundred and sixty five days’s AL West title. Per FanGraphs, these slots are occupied by the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners.
