As much as I hate the Mets, anything is better than the Phillies winning the NL East. Gotta pull this one out.
The Phillies don't have what it takes to win. They basically pitched three of their best four pitchers in the last two games and only won because of Patrick Corbin and Wander Suero. They just lost McCutchen for some time. I know the Mets are doing their best Mets impersonation, but I wouldn't be surprised if the team leading the division by September 1st isn't Atlanta. They've been a weird team all season, but somehow I think they could go on a small run and overtake both the Phillies and Mets. Really it doesn't matter, as even in a one game play in or a short series, the Brewers, Dodgers, Giants, Padres, and even the Reds are better bets to win.
