Welcome to the worst division in baseball, at least in 2015. The Mets finished 18 games over .500 on the season, but only because they were 18 games over .500 against teams in the NL East. Against everyone else, they had a .500 record.
Will things be different in 2016? It's again shaping up as a two-team race unless the Marlins ... oh, never mind. It's probably a two-team race.
2015: 90-72, plus-70 run differential, lost World Series
2016 projected record from FanGraphs: 89-73
