 Unfortunately, I don't think we have the team to win it all. We are weaker on offense than last year although I think there's a slight uptick in our pitching over last year.

That doesn't appear to be true, at least the team at this point in the season (40 games played)* seems to be better on offense and worse on pitching/defense than last year at the same point. It's true that last year the offense got hot late as the weather warmed up, and it remains to be seen if it will this year or not. 

* the team has actually played 41 games but the stats for today's game aren't added in yet. Though since the team scored 10 and gave up 7 today, I don't think the trend will be any different. 

A few stats:
Stat               2022            2023
runs/gm           6.6              7.8
HRs/gm           1.35            1.58
AVG               .289             .299
SLG               .491             .500
PITCHING/DEFENSE
ERA               3.89             5.39
Hits/gm**      8.17             8.63
BB/gm           3.87             5.17
ERR/gm         1.0               1.1

**For simplicity I used hits, walks and errors per game instead of per 9 innings.
