A clean sweep. We think the Braves repeat as the NL East champs for a 5th straight divisional title.
We may be a little biased, but we have a right to be. The Braves have been the class of the NL East for several years now and are coming off a championship.
On paper, this is one of the best rosters not only in the NL East or the NL but all of baseball. A lot of experts believe the Braves will back in the playoffs come October.
So even though we are Braves fans, we have a valid reason to believe in the Braves.
The biggest threat looks to come from the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.
The Mets had a big offseason such as Max Scherzer, Starling Marte, Mark Canha, Chris Bassitt, and Eduardo Escobar. However, Jacob deGrom and Scherzer appear to be injured to start the year.
The Phillies added some big bats in the form of Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos. Adding them to a lineup featuring Bryce Harper will make the Phillies an offensive threat. Will their defense be an issue?
The Miami Marlins look to be on the rise, and could make some noise thanks to their strong depth at pitching. They could be a sneaky team that could cause problems in the NL East.
The Washington Nationals are in the midst of a full rebuild. They did add Nelson Cruz and Juan Soto is an MVP favorite. They could play spoiler this year.
Despite all this, we believe the Braves will defend their division crown and will attempt to defend their championship in October.
