Right now, is it more fun to be a Braves fan or a Mets fan? On Opening Day, the answer would’ve seemed obvious: one team was a legit World Series contender, the other in year 3 of a severe rebuild. One team won the NL pennant in 2015 and a wild card berth last season.
Roughly a month into the season, the answer isn’t so clear. The Mets are actually a half game back of the Bravos in the NL East. But that’s the least of it. New York’s senior circuit entrant has a rotation of four young hurlers who all appear to be Cy Young winners waiting to happen.
