The Crazy NL East

So far, through the first 45 days of the season, this is how the division has gone between the Braves and Mets as the division frontrunners.

Braves by two games: One day
Braves by a game and a half: One day
Braves by a game: Four days
Braves by a half-game: Fifteen days
Tie between Mets and Braves: Ten days
Tie between Mets, Braves, and Marlins: One day
Tie between Mets and Marlins: One day
Mets by a half-game: Nine days
Mets by a game: Three days

Overview
Braves have led the division for 21 days.

Mets have led the division for 12 days.

The biggest control of the lead was five days, twice done by the Atlanta Braves between 4/8 and 4/12 along with 4/14 and 4/18.

The Mets' biggest control of the division was four days, set 4-23 to 4/26.

The Braves and Mets passed the lead back-and-forth for six straight days between 4/18 and 4/23.

The Braves and Mets were tied for the division lead for a season-high four straight days between 5/6 and 5/9.

...hmm, could be a long and stressful year.
