Also, I put together predictions but should have put predicted wins because I actually have the Braves / Mets and Phillies in a right race - so based on my projections any of those 3 teams could win the league and / or make the wild card. To me it is that close of a race.
The Mets have old injury problems they'll deal with all year. I agree that the Santana acquisition has been overhyped. He only pitches once every five days. The Mets' rotation is looking good, even past Santana.
The Braves do have some injury concerns, but we have balance that I don't think either the Mets or Phillies have. We'll see how it unfolds, but there's no way you can tell me it's a two-team race. The Braves will make the playoffs this year.
Yes, the Mets have better pitching, but the sheer run-scoring machine that plays at Citizens Bank field carries that park's air with them. They score runs, regardless the pitcher.
It will be a long year. Both teams will lead the division at some point. Both teams will battle injury and play crazy games against each other. But the Phils will pull through in the end.
