The Los Angeles Dodgers have a 27% chance to win the 2026 World Series, the highest among all teams.
The FanGraphs Depth Chart assignment has Elder throwing 109 innings as a starter and ten in relief; for Wentz, it's 18 innings as a starter and 34 in relief. The range of other projection systems features the combination of these two guys going about 110 to 240 innings, though you shouldn't take the upper end of that range seriously because that's more of a "how healthy are they?" measure than a depth chart-informed one.
The most up-to-date farm system ranking is listed on Fangraphs. They use a metric that tiers MLB prospects and combines the values into a solid ranking. As per this formula, the Nationals are smack-dad in the middle of the MLB as the 16th ranked Farm System. The highest tier is labeled as "70 FV". To simplify, the higher the numeric value, the better the prospect.
There's no way to really recover from blowing Game 7 of the World Series, but there is at least the consolation of knowing that the team was good enough to come within a game of winning it all. That's the reality the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves in, as they were one Miguel Rojas homer away from winning their first title in 32 years.
