The Atlanta Braves, currently first in the National League East division, are looking to improve their chances for a fourth straight division title as the end of the MLB season draws near. The Braves hold a lead more tentative than those of the previous three seasons. The Braves won the league with a margin of eight games in 2018, four games in 2019 and four games in 2020. The lead this year is closer because the Philadelphia Phillies team the Braves are vying with could very well steal the title from them.
The Braves are rolling into this week’s final homestand against the Phillies on a three-game win streak and will face the Phillies, who are 34-41 on the road with a 37-37 home game record.
