Even with all of the unlikely magic that transpired during the Braves’ 2018 season, there was always a feeling that the balancing act between talent and luck was bound to end with an unceremonious toppling off the proverbial tightrope.
The Braves’ balance finally gave way on Monday, as the Braves fell to the Dodgers, 6-2. This loss signaled the end of the NLDS, as well as the end of the Braves’ 2018 World Series hopes.
Today’s game was one of missed opportunities for Atlanta, as the Braves stranded base runners all game long.
