MLB 2024: What to make of Braves, Mets, Phillies in NL East

It looks like we're headed for a much different race in the National League East than last season, when the Atlanta Braves cruised to a division title behind a record-setting offense. They spent just one day out of first place after their third game of the season and pulled away in the second half to win the division by a whopping 14 games.

The Philadelphia Phillies have reversed their slow starts of the past two seasons -- when they were under .500 at the beginning of June -- to become the hottest team in baseball, led by a deep starting rotation and a locked-in Bryce Harper.
