Buying or Selling the Streaking Braves to Overtake the Mets for NL East Crown

It's hot in Atlanta, where temperatures are breaking records and the reigning World Series champions just can't lose.

After failing to launch with a 23-27 record in April and May, Atlanta's title defense has blasted all the way off in June. Brian Snitker's club has won 14 straight to trim its deficit to the New York Mets in the National League East from 10.5 games to 4.5 games.

We'd like to thank Atlanta for making good on our prediction that it would turn things around eventually, but now it's time for a new "buy or sell" question: Will Atlanta now go on to leapfrog the Mets and capture a fifth straight division title?
