1. Atlanta Braves

With Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider returning from season ending injuries last year this team gets a needed boost to make a Postseason run in October.

2. Philadelphia Phillies

The talent is everywhere on the roster, but time could be running out on this group with certain players having contracts coming due in the next season or two.

3. New York Mets

Signing Juan Soto to that massive deal and then bringing back Pete Alonso put the baseball world on notice that the Mets are not messing around and they want to win right now.

4. Washington Nationals

James Wood and Dylan Crews are taking their stake in the lineup, but the pitching staff still has a ways to go.

5. Miami Marlins

Lots of talented players under club control for a while, but how much longer will they hang on to former Cy Young winner Sandy Alcantara?

Player to Watch: P Zack Wheeler – Philadelphia Phillies

Best Acquisition: OF Juan Soto – New York Mets

New Kid on the Block: OF Dylan Crews – Washington Nationals
