Arizona was probably a bad pick though. However I couldn't pick the Dodgers because they suck and I just have a hard time viewing the Rockies as a playoff team. Probably should of just taken the Giants. Oh well.

With the pitching turmoil that the Mets have- tough to say they're a lock. Matz could be out for a while, and Lugo very likely will need TJ surgery. Wheeler is on a 120 inning limit this year, and Syndergaard has a blister. Harvey is a huge question mark of course. Yeah if 3-4 of those turn out good they're fine- but it's just as likely with their history that 4 of the 5 could turn up bad for them.

Fair assessment. So if they tank this year who runs the East? Nationals then Braves?

Nats for sure. Think the other teams are pretty close.

Mets problem isn't just pitching health. The offense has had 7 runs in 20 innings. With 6 of them in 1 inning. Non pitchers are batting .167 for them right now.
