The NL East is a Great Division

The 5 teams in the NL East are all within 1.5 games of each other. The Nationals are currently in first place with Atlanta in 2nd a half game behind. Both the Mets and Phillies are 1 game behind and the Marlins are 1.5 games out.

Going into the season this was the most hotly contested division on paper, and it seems to be working out as expected. It's great for all of these teams to be in contention, and I imagine that they will all remain in contention to win the division into September, but they're going to stay so close to each other that none of them will even contend for a wild card. It's all or nothing in the NL East this year.

Also despite the fact that everyone is evenly matched, we all know that the Braves will most likely win the division at the end of the day.
