I think the usual suspects will be around, i.e., the Nats and the Marlins, though I am optimistic the Mets can weather both storms.

In answering this, however, I have to go with the Braves.

Next: Wright likely done playing in games this spring

They turned out to be kryptonite at the end of last year with a revamped roster at the deadline, and they’ll be one year older with a couple ex-Mets, and beloved ones at that, to needle us 19 times this year. I’m wary of the Braves, who could be the sleeper team of the NL East.
