First in Mets history, and what a season that guy has had. Definitely a strong contender for comeback player of the year, and it's nice to see showing flashes of what he used to be in Minnesota.

I caught the last few innings. His change up is still ridiculous, and it has to be considering the velocity he lost on his fastball after the shoulder surgeries. Beltran had a fair ball that was called foul, so the no hitter should have ended in the 6th, but still an amazing outing none the less. Jonathan Sanchez, Edwin Jackson and Francisco Liriano all had similar no hitters, as in allowing a ton of walks.

NL east / AL east are insane

The NL East and AL East aren`t really all that comparable. The AL East is much, much stronger.

4 of the 5 NL East teams are posting above average to way above average batting average on balls in play, while the AL East is the opposite, with only 1 above average. Unless they play every game in Coors for the rest of the season, the NL East is going to get some regression there.

Then you look at all the players who are hurt in the AL East or have been for an extended period of time. Ellsbury, Pedroia, Youkilis, Longoria, Upton, Jennings, Pineda, Rivera, Kelly Johnson and Carl Crawford. These are all star players that have missed time.

The AL East has a Pythag record of 17 games over .500, while the NL East has one of 9 games over .500, while playing in a much weaker league. The AL East has 4 of the best 5 teams in the American League, with Texas (the strongest of course) being the other.

both of them are way ahead of the other divisions, though. miami / atlanta are both really solid, phillies will rebound in a few months, and Washignton/NYM have sick pitching. definitely not a division i'd like to be in

al east is obv better though. orioles aren't a fluke, redsox yankees will forever be contenders with their payroll, tampa bay is the perfect low market team, and the jays are my favourite team to watch, encarnacion + bautista (once he really gets going) will be an absolutely sick 3/4.
