00:00So, I guess let's start with this. The division leaders in the National League, are these
00:08division leaders the winners at this point? Phillies, I think it's fair to say, are going
00:13to be really hard to challenge at this point, given they're almost 30 games over 500, and
00:18several games, almost 10 games ahead of the Braves. Dodgers, 56 and 41. Brewers, the big
00:24surprise of that division, 55 and 42. Do you see any team challenging for the division
00:32at this point? Do you think that these are sealed up?
00:37What's most interesting is that the Phillies have been the most dominant team in baseball,
00:40and I actually think that the Braves are a team that would have had the best chance to
00:44actually make a run and try and catch their tail, just like they did last season. But
00:49to me, I feel like the Phillies are locked to win the NL East. The Brewers, even though
00:53that's a very, very close NL Central, I feel like they're just so much better than the
00:58Cardinals, the Pirates, the Reds, I think the Cubs as well. The NL West, they have the
01:02Diamondbacks, who I think are going to make a push in the second half of the season. I
01:05do expect them to make a push into the NL wildcard race, but I don't know if they're
01:09going to make up that seven game ground on LA. So, it feels like the safe take to say
01:14right now, but I do think the Phillies, Brewers, and Dodgers end up being the teams that win
01:19the pennant in each division. But I would still watch out for the Braves, just in case
01:23they can get hot and try and put a dent in Philly's lead.
