I hope the Doyers peaked early, and I don't think it really matters. I think they are the weakest team currently in position to make the playoffs.

How are they the weakest team in position to currently make the playoffs?

You got me, I brought out my inner Sander. But really, I think they can win it all but I hope they get embarrassed.

Doyers don't have all the experience too, that goes to STL and ATL who I think have the edge in the playoffs with STL's insane lineup and ATL's lights out bullpen.

LA will have the best rotation, but it all depends on their lineup and bullpen. Kenley Jansen and Paco Rodriguez don't have any experience.

To be honest, I really think that ATL is a huge red flag. They are leading LA by .01 in team ERA for the best in baseball, and they have the best record in the NL. But they are still not above .500 on the road. All a team needs to do is beat them once at home, and they stand a great chance to win the series. Now, ATL has the best home record, but with an ace on the mound, and good hitting, it's certainly do-able. I would be petrified if I were a Braves fan. They just got swept by the Phils.

If Justin heats up then I think it could be the other way around.

And what happens if Hanley or Puig go cold? A-Gon and Either are threats but who else? I'm sure the best pitchers in the game can shut down Juan Uribe and AJ Ellis, and who knows when Kemp is gonna come back.

If we are talking experience, Pitt is screwed. They haven't made the playoffs in 20 years. And more importantly, they are so young.

I think that the Dodgers have more than enough experience with Greinke, Kershaw, Ethier, Gonzales, Uribe, Ellis, Ellis, Wilson, Crawford, and Hanley.

I can honestly say there's no clear cut favorite in the NL... it really just depends on who gets hot at the right time.

Exactly, it could be the second wildcard for all we know. Look at the LOLRockies in 2007.

But who has the best pitchers in the game? Wainwright and Lariano, in wins? And don't forget about Crawford? That's also IF both of those two go cold. You can play the what-if game with any team.
