* – indicates new to team

+ – indicates injury

1. Atlanta Braves

I can’t imagine that they will be missing the Postseason again with the amount of injuries they had last season. The rotation is getting hit to start, but the lineup is healthy and is stacked.

2. Philadelphia Phillies

They made a few tweaks to the lineup and extended a couple of their starting pitchers. If Zack Wheeler returns to his former self from injury then this team will be in contention.

3. New York Mets

Once again they swung big in the offseason and got some notable names in free agency and via trade. But did they did do enough to replace the likes of Pete Alonso in the lineup and Edwin Diaz in the bullpen?

4. Miami Marlins

Slowly, but surely they are building a young core that will contend for a Wild Card spot soon. For now though the likelihood of them trading Sandy Alcantara is increasing daily.

5. Washington Nationals

This franchise is in the midst of a very long and arduous rebuilding project that has gone far beyond the one they had from 2006-10.
