If you didn’t think this Atlanta Braves‘ season was becoming “real” before, then how are your feeling about that… now? Or is it still too soon? Let’s discuss…
The Braves now have a 4 game lead on the Phillies. Neither team is exactly making a performance statement recently (Atlanta is 5-5, Philly 4-6 over their last 10 games), but it is significant enough that the Phils simply are not able to gain any traction in their tepid pursuit of the division crown.
In fact, at this point, Philadelphia sits not just in 2nd place, but out of playoff consideration all together.
