ESPN's Jayson Stark picks the Philadelphia Phillies to win the National League East this year. He states that the Cheese Steaks fielding and hitting will be enough to win the division, though their starting pitching doesn't quite match up with the Mets. Stark avoids stating that the Mets hold a season 7-3 edge.
Stark understandably says that one month of solid ball isn't enough to make him believe the Mets won't fall apart, given last year's collapse.
This weeks' series against the Cheese Steaks should help to quiet the critics, at least temporarily, if the Mets take at least two games.
Only one month ago we would jump at the chance to be in this position. Bring on the Phils!
