Minnesota 8 4 -- 68 55 13
NY Mets 8 4 -- 45 47 -2
Atlanta 8 5 .5 81 61 20
Detroit 8 5 .5 73 59 14
Florida 9 6 .5 74 58 16
NY Yankees 5 4 1.5 54 52 2
Baltimore 6 5 1.5 71 64 7
Cincinnati 7 6 1.5 88 90 -2
Cleveland 6 6 2.0 70 66 4
LA Dodgers 6 6 2.0 71 57 14
Washington 6 7 2.5 67 62 5
Houston 6 8 3.0 78 95 -17
St. Louis 5 8 3.5 55 76 -21
Pittsburgh 4 8 4.0 76 79 -3
Toronto 4 8 4.0 42 48 -6
Philadelphia 4 9 4.5 60 91 -31
Boston 3 8 4.5 43 68 -25
So the only team to score more runs so far than the braves is the Reds. But the reds have also allowed more runs than they have scored so it doesnt matter. The Braves however have a 20+ run differential, the best in the league. Now take a look at the teams in bold to see how we shape up against the rest of the Division. Florida is the closest with 16+ followed by the Nats at 5+. Now look at the two teams with better pre-season accolades than ¡Los Bravos!. The mets are -2 and the Philbo's are a pitiful -31. I dont know what the better stat is, that the braves are +20 or that the Phillies are -31.
Once again i know this is just spring training, and the mets have had some injuries that have made the mets games farm hand harvests, but -31, for the team with the most NL MVPs/Capita. Sucks.
