Jack Vita Show: Sports | MLB | Baseball | NFL | College Football | NCAA Basketball | NBA | Faith

In the next installment in our MLB Preview series on the Jack Vita Show, managing editor of Sports Illustrated's Braves Today and Inside the Marlins Lindsay Crosby visits the show to preview a division that is very near and dear to his heart, the National League East!

Lindsay and Jack get things started with the Atlanta Braves. The Braves, powered by a historic offense, won 104 games last season en route to their sixth-straight NL East division title. Over the winter, the club added reclamation projects Chris Sale and Jarred Kelenic. Will the Braves win the division for the seventh-straight year in 2024? And will the Braves return to the World Series after a pair of disappointing NLDS losses to the Philadelphia Phillies?

Next, Lindsay and Jack tackle the Phillies. The Phillies have impressed in the past two postseasons, logging a 19-11 record in 30 playoff games. However, the club squandered a 3-2 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLCS last October, dashing their World Series hopes. How will the Fightin' Phils respond in 2024?

The New York Mets greatly disappointed in 2023. Will the coming season be a reflection of last year, or will the Mets get back in the win column?

Could a young Washington Nationals team exceed expectations? Or will it be another long summer in D.C.?

Finally, the Miami Marlins impressed last year, reaching the playoffs for the first time in a full, 162-game season since 2003. But with a -57 run-differential and injuries to their pitching staff, might Skip Schumacher's regress in 2024?

Lindsay and Jack have you covered, providing detailed outlooks and over/under win total projections for each team!

Atlanta Braves (0:00 - 14:35)

Philadelphia Phillies (14:35 - 21:25)
