The Atlanta Braves are the worst team in the National League and a big reason why is there offense.

Nick Markakis leads the team with 37 RBI.

Blair is 0-1 with a 9.26 ERA on the road on this year.
New York Mets
The Mets have as good of a pitching staff as anyone in baseball and Matz has been a key guy.
Everyone loves to talk about Matt Harvey, Jacob DeGrom, and Noah Syndergaard with right reason.
Yoenis Cespedes leads the Mets with a .283 batting average to go along with 16 homers and 42 RBI.
