Odrisamer Despaigne and Vance Worley, Miami Marlins

Two long relievers from the 2016 Orioles ended up as teammates on the Marlins this year, with very different results. Despaigne, who had a forgettable 5.60 ERA for the Orioles last season, improved his fortunes by going 2-3 with a 4.01 ERA for the Marlins in 18 games, including eight starts.

But Worley, who was a solid contributor in Baltimore with a 3.53 ERA in 35 games, went the opposite direction this year. He struggled to a 2-6 record and 6.91 ERA in 24 games, 12 of them starts. Their Marlins finished with a 77-85 record, just two games better than the Orioles, but they finished in second place in their division while the O’s were last in theirs. That tells you all you need to know about the NL East.
