The Braves. Im not all that worried, it is only early May, if by mid-June the team is hanging around .500 and the Mets are still playing this way, then I might be worried. They play 162 games for a reason, not to see who the best team is in a month, which is the Mets right now, but who can play the most consistent for 6 months, and I think the Braves can do that. If Joey Devine would get his act together and become a consistent closer and some of the guys in the lineup (LaRoche, Francouer, etc.) catch fire, this team is very capable of taking another divison title.
