NL East

So who cares if Opening Day is already in the books? On with the predictions...

NL East

The teams:
Atlanta Braves
Florida Marlins
New York Mets
Philadelphia Phillies
Washington Nationals

The outlook: Wondering why you can't find any duct tape at your local hardware store? That's because the 2006 New York Mets used every last inch of the stuff to hold together their pitching rotation. Look for the we-can't-beat-an-83-win-team-in-the-NLCS Mets to take a step back this year.

Jimmy Rollins says the Phillies are going to win the NL East this year. Why not?

Spaulding prognostication:
NL East champions -- Philadelphia Phillies
NL Wild Card -- New York Mets
