Here we are at the metaphorical mid-way point of the 2022 regular season with the Atlanta Braves sitting 2.5 games behind the New York Mets for first place in the National League East.
Coming into the season, that seemed like a plausible situation for Atlanta to find itself in given the off-season additions made by both the Mets and the Braves.
I don’t know that anyone could have predicted the path that the two teams would have taken to get to this point in the season, so that whole, “the Mets are running away with the East and the Division race is over before Memorial Day!
