NL East preview 2024: Mets, Phillies chasing Braves in division prediction

The Post’s Jon Heyman previews the NL East:

1. Atlanta Braves

O/U wins: 101.5

Key player: Ronald Acuña Jr. Who else? The reigning NL MVP became the first player to go 40-70 (40 homers, 70 steals) last year, so this is one guy with truly no limitations. The only (very small) question is the health of his knee since he did need to make a visit this spring to see noted surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache. He was given a clean bill of health (it was only meniscus irritation), which was great news not only for the Braves but for all of baseball because this guy is something to behold.
