00:00 the best team in the world.

00:03 So, Mark, when you look at

00:06 Philly and Atlanta, the Phil's

00:08 the best team in baseball right

00:09 now. The first of 30 wins, 30

00:12 and 13 Atlanta backed by four

00:14 wins in that win column with

00:16 only 26, a two game difference

00:18 in the standings and yet the

00:20 Braves are minus 280 to win the

00:23 National League East. Who do

00:25 you think ends up winning this

00:26 division when all is said and

00:28 done? I still think the Braves

00:30 will. I mean, you have to, you

00:32 know, really take a look at

00:33 what the Braves have been in the

00:35 beginning of the season. Sean

00:36 Murphy, the power hitting

00:37 catcher, got hurt in the first

00:38 game of the season. Hasn't been

00:39 back since Austin Riley, their

00:40 third baseman power hitter, is

00:42 banged up. Uh you know, Ozzie

00:43 Albee spent some time on the IL.

00:45 I mean, this is not a team that

00:47 is is 100% whole at this point

00:49 in time. They've had plenty of

00:50 injuries in the starting

00:51 rotation. Uh that's been, you

00:53 know, held together basically

00:54 by Chris Sale for the most part

00:56 going through his max free

00:57 season. So, you know, I think

00:58 it's a good thing that they're

00:59 back together. I mean, this is

01:01 still the best team in the

01:02 NL East. It's way too early to

01:04 call this thing here. So, uh

01:05 there's a reason why the Braves

01:06 is still the decided favorite.

01:07 They're the better team.
