In a series that was billed as a matchup of two of the best teams in the NL East, the Atlanta Braves now stand alone. The Braves will look to complete a four-game sweep on Sunday against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals and move a step closer to clinching their second straight NL East division crown.
Atlanta has won nine-straight overall and 13 straight at SunTrust Park which is a modern era record. They will enter Sunday with a 10-game lead in the division with their magic number at 11. If anything, this run of success has given them the reason to aim higher as they now trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by just 2.
