The Braves hope Tuesday will bring better results to officially win the division crown.
There was always the chance Monday could be a bit of a let down.
After a spectacular series sweep over the Mets this past weekend, the Braves simply were not at their best on Monday. Jesus Luzardo was spectacular for the Marlins, Bryce Elder ran into a bit of early trouble, and the Braves lost 4-0. Fortunately, the Braves have another chance on Tuesday to officially win their division crown.
While the Braves do control their own destiny, a loss by the Mets on Tuesday also gets the job done.
