It's Memorial Day, which means one extra little thing for MLB fans: You're now officially free to look at the standings page!
We asked Buster Olney, Jeff Passan and Sam Miller to do just that -- and help us make sense of the 2019 season so far.

Buster Olney: The National League East is not nearly as competitive as I thought it would be after the Nationals invested in the most expensive pitcher of the offseason and after the Mets made no secret of their intention to spend big (within the Mets' context anyway) and try to win this season.
