First, the Marlins. They can pitch well, can hit a little and the Mets still have 19 games to play against them. Second, the Braves will do what it takes at the trading deadline. Remember there are 3 wild cards this year. Philly and the Nats I don't worry about. The concern is that the Mets will play down to their level. Missing your two best pitchers puts an enormous burden on the other three. They have to be almost perfect every time out. They're also injury risks.
