I don't think it's unreasonable to expect 3/5 to continue pitching at this level. Shields, Santana and Mendoza are all capable of putting up this performance over a full season.
Davis can continue to be just as bad, or possibly even worse. And Guthrie... if his ratios don't improve, eventually it will catch up to him.
I could see the starting pitching holding up at basically the same level of performance over a full season. Heck, if Ventura continues to dominate at AAA and they call him up, or if Duffy forces their hand quickly, it's even possible it could improve.
It's interesting to watch and think about, now that they're outside the losing streak.
