The Atlanta Braves are still the current division leader in the National League East. The Atlanta Braves continue to play well in and be the division leader in the division that has been a serious let down in terms of what experts thought the competition would be. Evan Gattis continues to have a remarkable rookie season and the Starting Pitching has been really good, the best has been left handed pitcher, Mike Minor. Right Fielder Jason Heyward and First Basemen Freddie Freeman have been playing really well within the past week and it has been interesting despite the Braves having been swept in their most recent series by the San Diego Padres.
Washington Nationals (32-32)
The Nationals have continued to falter and be a bad team despite winning this division last season and making to the playoffs. Last season's rookie sensation Bryce Harper is still injured and he has not came back since. They have also struggled in the Starting Pitching department and it did not help when their best Starting Pitcher Stephen Strasburg got injured and just came off of the disabled list today. The Nationals had big expectations to start the season and they have not lived up to them because of injuries and many other things.
Philadelphia Phillies (31-35)
The Philadelphia Phillies have continued to struggle as the season goes on. Their star Second Basemen Chase Utley has had his struggles this season and he is currently on the disabled list. The biggest bright spot on this Phillies team is young Outfielder, Domonic Brown. Domonic Brown has really been having a good spot of this season by hitting really well and giving the only bright spot to this Phillies team. The Phillies are struggling but the great thing for Phillies fans is that they play hard every night and never give up.
New York Mets (24-36)
The New York Mets are still not hitting the ball in key situations and they sent down their starting First Basemen Ike Davis down to the Minor Leagues and the Triple A Mets affiliate. The Third Basemen David Wright is still playing good baseball and should be playing in the all star game for the National League team. He is currently second in voting for National League Third Basemen and he should continue to impress. The Mets are playing to the best of the talent that is on their team.
Miami Marlins (19-46)
The Miami Marlins have continued to play really bad baseball and their current record reflects that. They recently got back their star Outfielder, Giancarlo Stanton off of the 15 day disabled list. A player that continues to impress for the Marlins is Derek Dietrich, a Second Basemen that has recently been playing well after being promoted. He is been a really big bright spot for a team that is not good.
