Only reason they were playoff contender was because MLB added a 3rd playoff spot. This team is not playoff quality not when you are only a few games above .500It was a playoff contender. They were in it until game 160. The bullpen is not as strong , that’s a given but I’ll take this rotation. And we have discussed the hitting like beating a dead horse. Batting average is only one metric. The Yankees are only hitting 242, Tampa 240, Seattle made the playoffs hitting 228.
