In 2017, the Astros pitching staff posted the sixth best league adjusted FIP in baseball. With all of the major pieces of the staff returning, they could have stood pat this offseason. Instead, they added another ace to their rotation and continued to bolster their bullpen. What was a team strength only grew stronger. As with every pitching staff, there are some lingering injury concerns, but they built up some incredible depth to cover any major injuries. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Astros challenged for the best overall pitching staff in baseball in 2018.
