Both of these teams are expected to be contenders with Washington and Philadelphia in the East. There is a lot to like in both camps.
Atlanta has been the better of the two over the last few seasons but New York has a great chance to get the season off to a good start.
Atlanta Braves
There is no doubt that Atlanta is a talented team. They are nicely balanced too with the like of Ronald Acuna Jr. and Freddie Freeman.
If Ozzie Albies had the start to his career that he has had with any other team we would be raving more. Acuna casts a very big shadow.
Pitching is going to determine just how far Atlanta can go. Soroka showed last year that he has high potential. Now he has to prove it again as the league can catch up quickly to even the most talented young hurlers. They especially need him to be sharp early with Cole Hamels hurt.
I like the bullpen a lot but they are missing Will Smith right. He has tested positive and is not yet back with the team. Get used to hearing that a lot.
New York Mets
New York has been close but not quite a contender over the last few seasons. This could be a season where the outlook is a little rosier.
Key to that picture is the monster season by Pete Alonso a year ago. He is not going to hit another 50 homers but he could keep that pace. He seems legit.
Jacob deGrom is among the best starters in baseball. He is showing no signs of slowing down either. Look for another strong season.
In this short season there will be even more pressure to win the games started by deGrom. They can get this one.
