It is not a secret, with all due respect to the Miami Marlins, that the National League East will, most likely, be a four-team race. The Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves look like the slight favorites, while the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets are right up there. Those squads can finish the season ranked first or fourth and no one will be surprised.
The latest projection system to make its appearance, PECOTA, has a nice surprise for Mets fans. Yes, projections don’t mean anything, but they can provide an idea of how well a team is built.
