I don't. The Braves puffed their record on weak teams (as they should take care of business) but they struggle against better teams. I think the Phillies finish ahead of them and are the bigger threat to the division.

But hey, the Braves could have a few guys get hot again at the right time and win another ring. The beauty of baseball. People can disparage a ring all they want (and you might take what I just said of their ring as an insult) but it isn't. It shows that that can get it done. I just don't see it for the Braves this year. They are set up better to cycle in to the top of the division again once this Mets run ends in 2-3 years, depending on pitching. Right now they're cycling out and dealing with a top 2 team in baseball.
