In recent history, the Dodgers have been a behemoth, but the Braves aren’t that far behind. Since the start of 2018, the Dodgers lead baseball with 241 wins, but the Braves are second in the NL (sixth in MLB) with 222. Roll it back to 2010, and the Dodgers are still first, but the Braves are hanging in there in eighth place overall (fourth in the NL). Go back to 2000, and they’re third (Dodgers) and fifth (Braves) in MLB. And, in the Wild Card era, they’re the top two NL teams, with the Braves having the second-most wins in baseball and the Dodgers coming in fourth.
