Atlanta is the Hottest team in baseball right now, 15 - 2 over their last 17 games.

Phillies are probably the best team in the NL, good solid pitching and the best offense in the NL.

Montreal is typical montreal early in the year, they'll cool off later on, but they are a threat to win every night.

Florida is playing 500 ball WOW.

and who would have thought the mets could sink soo low. :( Piazza really needs to volunteer to stop playing Catcher. he is NOT a major league level catcher at the Defensive End.

The Braves are too streaky. And don't forget their history of october ball.
April doesn't mean that much.

i hate to say it because i hate, hate, hate the yankees, but the AL east is best (followed by AL west)

it's one thing to pick best team another to pick best division.

AL East after Boston and NY sux.

NL East has 4 teams 500 or above. and Braves and Phillies are VERY good.

BTW, the braves won 1 WS, 4 NL Championships during the run. That's an amazing run. if it weren't for the yankees the braves wouldn't look soo bad, but how many teams can do it like the yankees?? well, uhh, NO ONE.

I'm a fan of the competition in the AL west. Oakland, Seattle and Anaheim are always good, Texas might make .500 this year.

worth noting: the phillies, going into this most recent series, had circa the fewest home runs in baseball. Not really 'power.'

The NL east has the mets and the marlins, so really, that division doesn't even get a vote. Clearly not the NL or AL central. NL west isn't bad at all, but AL west or east certainly has to be best.

also: if you want to be the best, you gotta beat the yankees. I don't care what they won or how many years they got to the postseason, the braves will always be known for losing serieseses.
