Bauer going down hurt, sure. But for most of the year they had the Klubot, Carrasco, Bauer in CY form, and Clevinger as one of the top 25ish pitchers in baseball. Then you have Lindor killing it, Ramirez putting up an MVP caliber year, a huge bounceback season from Brantley and solid complementary players across the board.
How that team isn't a 95+ win squad is beyond me. It isn't even that guys are underperforming - they're not. Individual players on that team are having extraordinary years. They just don't win as many games as they should somehow.
They're the anti-Rays.

Or the anti-Royals. How many years did we outperform our projected wins?
