N.L. East Preview

Last year, with free agent Bryce Harper in his first season, was supposed to be the Philadelphia Phillies’ year, to at least win the N.L. East. Of course it was not and Harper’s former team, the Washington Nationals, a wild card team from the N.L. East won it all.

This season under new manager Joe Girardi, I predict the Phils to win a wide open N.L. East.

Four teams have projected wins totals of roughly (86-90) with the defending N.L. East champion, Atlanta Braves heading the list.

My second choice, the New York Mets are third on the list, the Nationals my fourth choice are second, the Phils, my top choice are fourth. The perception is a close race.

The Florida Marlins are an almost unanimous choice to finish fifth. I do see improvement for the team.
