MLB Divisional Previews: Mets Look to Repeat as NL East Champs

This is the third of six divisional previews from Impact 89FM, stay tuned for the rest of the previews throughout the opening week of the MLB season.

One year removed from a World Series run, the New York Mets are in position to take the division again. The Washington Nationals, who finished seven games back of New York, will be looking to redeem themselves after somewhat of a letdown last year.

Zachary Swiecicki, Zach Barnes, and Will Thiede breakdown the NL East: Who will win the division between NYM and WAS? What can the Marlins do? And are the Braves or Phillies better at “tanking”?

      MLB NL east preview (3-6)

The 2015 NL East divisional standings. Two teams above 0.500 and only one team with 90 wins.

 

Team W L W-L% GB
New York Mets 90 72 0.556
Washington Nationals 83 79 0.512 7.0
Miami Marlins 71 91 0.438 19.0
Atlanta Braves 67 95 0.414 23.0
Philadelphia Phillies 63 99 0.389 27.0

 

This season? Well, it could look almost the exact same, but with a better Miami team.
