The Atlanta Braves have been cruising toward the best record in the National League for most of the season. Good for them. They also won the National League East in 2022, and what did that get them come the NLDS? A four-game exit at the hands of the Phillies.
Atlanta Braves
Record: 93-49, First place in National League East
The last time they met
The Braves came to Philadelphia in mid-June and after winning the first game, the second was rained out, prompting the doubleheader on Monday. In the finale, the teams played nine scoreless innings before Yunior Marte’s ineffectiveness combined with an error by Kyle Schwarber allowed the Braves to prevail.
