Looking At The Braves Right Now
The Braves are in the middle of an outstanding year as the top team in the National League East with a 91-64 record in 155 games.
They have won six out of their last ten games (and are 40-37 in 77 games on the road).
Mark Bowman of MLB.com wrote (on Saturday): “The Braves’s magic number is 1. They can win their seventh NL East title in the last nine years tomorrow with either a win or a Phillies loss.”
Following one more game with the Astros, the Braves will return home to host the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night at Truist Park in Georgia.
Last season, the Braves missed the MLB playoffs.
