Opening Day Predictions

NL East

1. Atlanta
2. Phillies (they win the Wild Card)
3. Florida
4. Montreal
5. New York Mets

Atlanta is still the team to beat. It will be close but you have to knock the champion out to take his belt. The Phillies get the consolation prize of the Wild Card while the Marlins follow the path blazed by the 2002 Angels (the year after Anaheim won the World Series). Neither the Mets nor Expos are too bad but someone has to finish next to last and last.
