    The Braves are the class of the NL East
    Already answered all the questions about their rotation. They look stout. Amazing how they maximize the potential of these journeyman pitchers on the back end of their careers. They will not miss medlen or beachy this year. They've completely owned the nationals early on and did so last season. That has to give them a psychological edge if the race remains close late in the season.

    Only minor knock is they don't particularly manufacture runs and rely too much on home runs to overcome that deficiency. Power is all up and down that lineup though.

    They will win the east.

        Everybody keeps saying that.. Were in a position to sweep tex in tex.. About to sweep the marlins.. Took a series in Chicago.. Got beat up my milw who is beating up on everyone. If this team stays healthy they will be in it until the end, despite having the worst bullpen in baseball.

        All I ask for is 75.6 wins tho.. I'll take my 1k and be happy

                    18-7 against the Nats in the last 25 games and Gonzalez is 0-6 against the Braves in his last 6 starts.

                    Definitely the best team in the East right now and although it's a long season we should win the East. However, I've been a fan since the 80s so I won't get excited till we actually win a post season series again.

                      I feel the Nats will still walk away with the East. JMO
