Just returned yesterday from a week on the Cape, so I was able to watch all of those games.
Observations:
The batting order is WAY too top-heavy. #s 6-9 will not scare the Indians or Astros, who will simply pitch around #s 1-5 (especially Betts & Martinez) enough to limit the damage they could cause.
The bullpen is rancid Garbage. Even their "all-star" closer sucked all week long, and his season-long production in close games is trending very, very poorly.
There is Nobody in their Dust Bowl-quality farm system who is available to help them anytime soon. As an example, I offer the Catcher who was recalled for this weekend's series vs Baltimore.
Post-season prediction: Sux beat Sewer York in first round, then lose to Houston.
