As of today, the NL East projects to be a very competitive battle. According to FanGraphs Depth Chart projections every team, except perhaps the Marlins, should be firmly in the running. Currently, the Mets are the favorites to win the division, but let’s break it down position by position.
Rotation
The Mets rotation is already projected the best of the group, but they actually could be scored higher if Noah Syndergaard (likely returning around mid-year) were included. The Marlins are rated the lowest, but definitely have some high upside arms. The Nationals rotation should be solid as usual, but the 4/5 spots may be issues and the injury bug has hit them hard of late.
