We must also keep in mind that they have two young arms that will be rounding out the rotation for the second have that could make them even more dangerous. James Paxton was excellent in his few starts (two against our Angels) and Taijuan Walker, when he regains his form, has ace potential.

Damn...I haven't felt this good in a long time. Great pitching and the bats have come to life!

It is impossible to say right now with less than a half of the season played. By October we may see Richards finally be a consistent, reliable number one who we could throw out there with confidence. Right now, Weaver is still the guy...but I don't have the confidence I used to have with him on the hill. My hope is that Richards finds it in the second half and becomes the obvious choice to start a potential wildcard match-up. This means keeping his walks and hits down (obviously) and keeping his pitch count low. We would need to limit using the pen in such a game. If the opponent can keep the score close and get our starter to throw a lot of pitches, they will hold an unquestionable advantage.
