It wasn’t exactly a team roaring into the post-season on a roll, but the Atlanta Braves still helped themselves while dropping 4 of their last 6 regular season contests. They will draft better in 2019 as a result.
The draft order itself does not quite go by the same rules as for determining playoff seedings. In the case of the draft, ties are broken by the team’s record in the previous year. That makes a bit of a difference here as the Braves managed to play themselves out of the 1st or 2nd NL playoff seeding, and into better draft positioning.
