NL East:

5. Washington Nationals

4. Florida Marlins

3. Atlanta Braves

2. New York Mets

1. Philadelphia Phillies

Philly's offense is the best in this division and Brad Lidge is back. If there is any place better for him to fail, I don't know where it would be. But, so far so good. The Phillies' combo of speed, power and plate discipline is like that of an American League team. That will be the difference for them. This division is loaded w/ below-average starters and the Phillies will continue to feast on them. Once Ryan Howard starts hitting, lookout. I love that the Marlins are hot right now. But, once it gets real hot in Miami, so will opposing offenses against their pitching.
