Yankees make a move, so the Dodgers have to add an Ace calibre pitcher as well.
Darvish is now a Dodger. Wow - big add!

Team is primed and better win this year. Scary playoff rotation especially if Hill stays blister free.
They have one of the more questionable playoff rotations in the game tho. If they don't get to the WS, someone should be fired, but that's a lot of postseason poor pitching in that top 4. But 3 LHP in the back of your BP will help so much pitching to Rizzo, Harper, and the other power Lefty hitters in the NL.
Kershaw: 4.55ERA. We all know his demons.
Darvish: 5.4ERA (only 2 games, 2.70ERA in 2012, lit up in 2016 vs Jays, but that’s his TJS return yr)
Wood: Never pitched this well in his life. No postseason history.
Hill: 4.50ERA, has had 1 out of his 3 games as good. 2hit, 6ip ball.

add in a pretty solid, potent line up and the Dodgers are going to bring their best all-around team to the playoffs in a long time.

Dodgers may be loaded but I'm on the Houston bandwagon as my WS bet.

I totally disagree. I still take a whole year's worth of stats over a few playoff starts any day of the week. I would still take their rotation over anyone else in the NL....obviously depending on Kershaw's health. But Washington's rotation depends on Strasburg's health. In the MLB....their playoff rotation sits at #2 behind Cleveland for me.
Cubs....Arrieta and Lester have not been themselves this year
Rockies....zero playoff experience
D-Backs....Greinke and.....zero playoff experience
Brewers....zero playoff experience
Houston better hope Keuchel and McCullers can stay healthy or they won't get too far.
IMO, if any team needed to add a SP, it was Houston. Liriano was not the only move they should have made, especially seeing as Liriano is expected to be moved to the bullpen for Houston. There were plenty of other solid arms available to be had and the Astros pretty much stood pat.

Well, Nationals rotation also has Scherzer.
But I was more saying like, the team has pitchers who have dominated the regular season, and their postseason hasn’t been as automatic. But the top 3 are still “they CAN go deep into playoff games”, not “they will go deep into playoff games”.
I would love to see them all go deep 1hit ball tho, Darvish is a treat to watch when he’s on.

I don't disagree, but even if only one of McCullers or Keuchel is healthy for the playoffs, it's not all doom and gloom. Houston has a couple decent back end rotation arms, and their bullpen is solid, especially in long-relief. The defence and batters I also like betterthan any other lineup right now, as long as Correa is back for the playoffs, which he should be.
