NL East is one tough division

[EGrecu]

Mets - on pace for 105 wins with a 160 run differentials

Braves - on pace for 95 wins with a 140ish run differentials

Phillies - on pace for 91 wins with a 130ish differential


All 3 teams are trending even better than that. Mets just got scherzer and degrom back. Braves have been hot for a while and phillies are playing great while still waiting for harper to get back


Can't remember the last time a division was this strong. All 3 teams could win 95+

Phillies are surprising. Especially without Mondo in the lineup.

Phils are good because Harper gone

He was a strikeout machine

Like usual you do not need those guys to win

[pologq]

Phillies getting hot at the right time. These are the teams who sometimes surprise in the playoffs riding the streak.

Mets if healthy chalk to get to world series not dodgers believe it or not

What? Harper is one of the best players in the game. His k rate was 18% - which is significantly below avg

I agree. Nobody wants to face that team in playoffs- they have 2 aces in Nola and Wheeler, a very good offense and 3 or 4 studs in that bullpen

buehler is coming back. dodgers if they stay healthy? are the clear faves for the pennant

i agree as well. cards are sneaky.

cards and phils can disrupt the faves.

Philly not winning the div tho

that is key

I think mets should be favorites in a 5 or 7 game series

They have degrom and sherzer pitching 4 games and an offense thats as good as anybody...plus a very dominant bullpen with an excellent closer

Dodgers don't have 2 horses comparable to degrom and sherzer and although their bullpen is good, they don't have 2 weapons like ottavino and diaz

[pologq]

yes. much tougher and pitching rotation gets thrown off.

You’re right. Any team with a star player should just designate them for assignment and prepare for a pennant.
