I'd love to see the Braves fact the Rangers, but that's not what I expect.
I give the Rangers every chance in the world to return to the WS, but I don't give the Braves much of a chance to get there this year. I think, on balance the Giants are the best in the NL, with the Nats right behind. I think the Giants are just a little bit deeper, and have a little more experience than the Nats, but don't be surprised to see Strasburg back on the mound before the year is over. I think it was a stroke of genius to pull him before he reached 180 innings, it gives them a way to save face when they call on him in either the NLCS or the WS, and I think they will need him to have a chance in a seven game series.
BTW I would not count Baltimore out either, they are playing some very good ball of late, and look to maybe pull away from the Yankees and the Rays. Right now, I think they are the most likely team to give the Rangers a run for their money
