Now there's still a pretty decent chance that they do - but if they don't their pitching will be the culprit.

Well......
That and Theo's stupid ****ing trades.
He made a bunch of quality ones for guys like Arrieta, Hendricks, Russell, etc... But then he went and ****ed it all up by trading a top 5 prospects in MiLB for a rental closer. I can forgive him for that because it broke the WS drought, but just compare what the Indians gave up for a guy with control and equally as elite to the same team.
Fine, whatever, I'll make that trade again given the outcome.
But then he went and did the same god damn shit for a guy that is a #3 pitcher at best in Quintana.
The Astros did it way better than Theo. They went out and got guys that at their peak are legitimate aces. For christ sakes their #5 pitcher to start the season was ****ing Gerrit Cole.
