As July 29, who will win the NL East?

Question

I'm a mets fan myself, and if the mets don't win it, I really hope the marlins do. Anyone but the Phillies! Who do u think has the best chance?

Answer 1

Phillies becaus the whole team is good, but yankees are better!

Answer 2

What's your beef against my Phillies ?? We just picked up a 1/2 game from you last night and we are ready to sweep this upcoming series against the Nat's. I say we are in good shape to take it. Also factor in the Mets predictable late season nose dive !!!!

Just bustin'. Good luck. Should be fun to watch how it plays out.

Answer 3

Phillies

Answer 4

I want to see what each team does at the trade deadline.  Ask me on Friday.

Answer 5

I am a huge Braves fan...i know what most are thinking...The Braves are out  of this one!  Well not so fast!  Sometimes a team can be backed against the wall really hard but every once in a while, they can win...after all there have been teams who have done it before...as a matter of fact, the team, Angels comes to mind not too long ago (Tex's new home)!  I say that the Braves just might surprise you...out of the ashes, here they come!

Answer 6

as a phils fan, of course i would say the phillies have a really good chance to take the east. but we really can't underestimate the mets here.granted its only been a few weeks of playing well, but they are playing better baseball (and are probably not as uptight with jerry as their manager).that being said, you have to look at the whole season as far as how good a team is and how good a team can get. the phillies were in first place for a solid 2 months before the mets closed the gap. The phillies, position by position, are better than the mets and even marlins.There's no disputing that. Another thing in favor of the phils is that they have had the best second-half record in the last 3 years (43-30 in 05, 45-30 in 06, and 45-29 last year). These guys know how to take their game to the next level when matters most. Therefore, the Phillies have the best shot at taking the east again.

Answer 7

The mets i think they have the best rotation out of all three teams and for the phillies ryan howard can hit a homerun or strike out thats what he does and jose reyes has matured a turned into the next best thing and of course david wright is having a mvp season so yeah i do think the mets can win but it will come down to the end

Answer 8

i want the marlins to win too, but i feel like the phillies might win. i feel like their hitting can explode at any moment. utley, rollins, howard, and burrell. if victorino finds his swing, he can help too. their bullpen is pretty solid, but their starting rotation sucks. that's their biggest problem. if the marlins pitching squad gets it together, i think they can win.

Answer 9

look out all you met haters,as a Braves fan its hard to say this,but the Mets are going to the Big Show this year

Answer 10

To be honest, as a Phillies fan I dont know. The Phillies have the bullpen edge against any team in the east for sure, but news is now Chase Utley is playing with a torn labrum which cant be good. And with Myers pitching the way he is and Blanton being really unknown it would be tough for me to pick whose going to win it. And the Mets are in the same boat with Maine being hurt now and not knowing what you will get with Pedro. If the other players on these 2 teams dont step up I might have to go with the Marlins. Either way, whichever team makes it from the east they will be wiped out in the playoffs. Cubs and Brewers are just to tough with Sheets/Sabithia and Zambrano/Dempster/Harden.

Answer 11

the mets

Answer 12

i think the mets will somehow ...someway lol

Answer 13

The mets, they are 16-5 in their last 21 games. They have a 11-5 record against the phillies i believe? With pelfrey , and johan beginning to change their season around. and john maine will deff. come back , within a week. they're rotation is no problem. And oliver perez, a big game pitcher. Also, remember once we get Ryan Church back our offense and defense will be uplifted. With delgado, and tatis having their hot streaks. and reyes with his 300 average. its no doubt, theres a difference from last years team ,and this years team. The mets this year, want it more. Also, the mets schedule from now on isnt bad. about 60% of the games is against teams with records below .500. i also believe we will be doing good against such teams as the padres, white sox, and brewers. therefore, the mets are winning the NL east pennant this year.

Answer 14

Samesies. They have no pitching. the mets have been getting better hitting and pitching. As long as 1) Ryan Church comes back healthy and with the same production or 2) we get another corner outfielder the mets will be in relatively good shape come october. The bullpen needs some rest too.

Answer 15

I think its Marlins or Phillies... the Mets are hot right now though...

Tonight's game is pretty big between the Mets and Marlins...

Answer 16

The Marlins will die off soon and with injury you can def. count out the Braves. Nats absolutly have NO chance at all. I think it will come down to Sept. and I think the Phillies will take it. If John Maine is hurt, Pedro you cant depend on, and they don't score runs with Johan I don't think there offense won't bail them out of this one. It's different with the Phils because they haven't had pitching in years so we build off of our offense. So the Phillies got it.
