With all the NL East team previews out there, we will now let y'all know who we think will win the division. This will be no easy one to run away with and outside the Mets every team here looks to be poised at making a run for it. The Phillies will be the favorites for a lot of the "experts" but with injuries and age stacking up quickly on the them, it looks like their run has come to end. The Nationals and the Marlins both made plenty of noise this off season and look like they are ready to start winning, but their run at the division crown is still a couple years out. The Mets have a lot of issues off the field that need to be handled before they can contend again and that will most likely turn them into sellers throughout the season. The Braves bring back a lot of talent from last years club that just missed the playoffs and with plenty of leadership should take this division home. This is going to be a division that is going to come to the wire and could require a one game playoff to decide the winner. The top four teams will probably finish with 10 games of each other and the Wild Card and if we get the two Wild Card spots this year, both could come from this division. The NL East will be very exciting to watch this year.
Predicted Final Standings
1. Atlanta Braves
2. Philadelphia Phillies
3. Washington Nationals
4. Miami Marlins
5. New York Mets
