Waiting for MLB to release "(Top Prospects of) Farm Systems Rankings" in next day or so... But STL, SF, NYY, SD farm systems are much healthier & stouter than Top-Prospects-focused analysis suggests. Can #9 SEA be viable at #1 with so little pitching?

2018 Astros used the same 5 starters (Keuchel, Verlander, Cole, Morton, McCullers) until Aug 21, when RP Peacock made a 2-inning opener start. Valdez & James became big leaguers not long after & made 8 conventional starts while McCullers was out. RP Devenski opened one later.

Rockies have played four best-of-5s and two best-of-7s in franchise history… but have never played a Game 5. The series-winning team in their 7 postseason series has a 21-2 won-loss record.
