00:00Let's also move over now to the National League East, and this is going to be a competitive

00:05division from top to bottom. Maybe not the bottom so much, but the three teams up top,

00:10you look at that. Oh my goodness, the Atlanta Braves always getting the respect here at plus

00:14125, the Phillies right behind them at a plus 195, and the Mets at a plus 220 price. The Braves good,

00:21the Phillies good, the Mets good, the Nationals trying to get back to being good, and the Marlins

00:27a 410 to one price to win that division. But let's start up top. The Atlanta Braves,

00:32a lot of expectations last year, rightfully so. A lot of injuries caused their demise last year,

00:38Tom. Yeah, this is going to be the story all year. It's like, okay, they're finally getting,

00:59be expecting from the Braves, and you're never going to get a discount on them. We're never

01:03going to get a discount on their division prices, their NLCS prices, excuse me, and we're going to

01:10get a ton of potential in their lineup with an Austin Riley, Matt Olson, Ozuna, Michael Harris,

01:15who I'm invested in when it comes to RBIs, like they have everything that we possibly want from

01:20a betting perspective, from a fantasy perspective, like you name it, the Braves bring it every single

01:24day. The question becomes is what happens if they start off slow? What happens if they start off

01:29slow and we see the Phillies out and flying, the Mets with their new lineup out and flying,

01:33or is that the point to buy back in on the Braves because we know their long-term potential?
