It’s been a good stretch lately for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they reaffirmed their position as the World Series favorite. That hasn’t been in doubt since the defending champs were big favorites at the start of the season. However, a plethora of injuries to the pitching staff put the club in danger of falling out of first place in the NL West. In a recent run of 10 games against their closest pursuers in the division, the Dodgers won seven of 10 games against San Diego and San Francisco and were triumphant in 11 of their last 15 games overall. In eight of those 11 victories they scored at least six runs and LA leads MLB in runs per game, batting average and home runs.
The Dodgers are a big futures odds favorite and reclaimed the best record in the National League with their current run of success. The time to buy was about a month ago when they were reeling, but with the offense in peak form and the staff getting arms back we could see the Dodgers go on a serious run. The MLB season is a marathon not a sprint, though, and teams among the World Series favorites are experiencing some issues. A lot of that is coming out of New York where the Mets and Yankees are both scuffling. The Yankees dropped the first two games of their series with Cincinnati and have just three wins in their last 12 games. That’s actually better than the Mets, who have one win in 11 games following Tuesday’s setback to the Braves.
Playing consistent baseball all season has lifted Detroit to the best record in the majors. The Tigers haven’t lost more than three straight games and followed their third three-game skid of the season with a pair of victories becoming the first to win 50 games. They rank among the top 10 in MLB in several offensive categories while boasting a staff ERA of 3.50. The Houston Astros have quietly ascended the odds board winning 13 of their last 18 games showing they aren’t surrendering the AL West.
Starting this week we’ll revisit each division beginning with the NL East. The Phillies and Mets are battling for first place and are the only members of the same division listed among the top 5 on the MLB futures odds board.

*Odds as of Monday, June 30, 1:00 PM ET
Philadelphia Phillies
It looks like a two-team race in the East with the Phils currently having the upper hand. They rebounded from a stretch of nine losses in 10 games by going 9-2 before Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to Houston. Over that stretch they allowed two runs or less eight times with Ranger Suarez and Jesus Luzardo picking up for the loss of Aaron Nola, who was recently transferred to the 60-day IL and could miss the remainder of the season.
New York Mets
The division has been a wacky roller-coaster ride with the Mets currently slumping. They went from winning 11 of 13 games to losing 10 of their next 11 contests. Some regression was expected from a pitching staff that was so good over the first few months of the season and the club is feeling it. They surrendered at least five runs nine times during their current slump and dropped each of the first five games to Atlanta. At least Juan Soto is heating up with four home runs and a .307 average in his last eight games.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves haven’t recovered from a 0-7 start and they may never, but at least they’re showing up when facing division rivals. They won six of their last eight games against NL East opponents, including the first five against the Mets, and they are 13-9 within the division. The return of Spencer Strider bolstered the rotation until Chris Sale went on the IL. Ronald Acuna Jr. has made an impact but overall the offense has floundered ranked below average in most critical categories.
Miami Marlins
As good as the division is at the top it’s equally bad at the bottom with two of the four worst teams in the NL The Marlins have been better than expected, which isn’t really saying much, and they’ve played the role of spoiler by splitting their first 24 games against division rivals. They aren’t going to win the NL East, or even contend for a playoff spot, but they will make things difficult on the teams that will.
Washington Nationals
Rebuilds take time and no one knows if prospects will pan out at the big league level. The Nats have struggled all season but the talent level is rising with four picks since 2019 taken among the top 11 currently on the roster. Unfortunately none of those players are pitchers and the Nats are among the worst in baseball on the bump with a staff ERA around 5.00
