The DBacks have the best pitching rotation in the NL West by far. It helps that Brandon Webb and Dan Haren head that rotation. If you remember, last season the DBacks got off to a really good start and then faltered down the stretch.
With the disappointing seasons from Chris Young and Justin Upton, the Arizona Diamondbacks fell out of first place in the West and could not reclaim it from the Dodgers. I still like this team, especially if Young and Upton play to their capabilities.
