As MLB hits the All-Star break, let’s take a look at some of the most intriguing questions that loom for the second half of the season:

Can anyone catch the Braves in the National League?

Atlanta has emerged as the clear team to beat in the National League, winning 12 of its past 14 games ahead of the break and cruising into the week with an MLB-best 60-29 record.

The National League seemingly has less depth than the American League, with no team within 8.5 games of the Braves. The Diamondbacks, Marlins and Reds offer fresh faces atop the league, however, and possess some of baseball’s most tantalizing rising talents.
