Today from Dan_Gartland: 🍑 The Braves are on the cusp 🦅 ConorOrr on the Eagles’ move to 4–0 👷 Kenny Pickett’s NFL debut
, I wrote that I thought New York had the upper hand in this weekend’s three-game series in Atlanta against the Braves, mainly because of its starting pitching.finish off a sweep that puts them two games ahead of the Mets
in the division with three games to play. The win also gives Atlanta the better record in the season series and therefore the division tiebreaker, so if the Braves win one of their last threeIt’s easy to look at New York’s collapse and say, “Typical Mets.”the fact that the Mets could very well end up with 100 wins.
Since June 1, Atlanta is 77–32. That’s a 114-win pace over the course of a full season. If not for a 23–27 start to the season, the Braves would be running away with the division.. If they had managed to win even just one game, they would have held the tiebreaker over the Braves and still could have clinched the division by winning their last three games. Now, they need to win their last threeI wouldn’t count on the Braves getting swept by the Marlins.

With the NL East title all but lost after a weekend sweep by the Braves, the Mets have problems as the postseason nearsATLANTA – Before the weekend that would effectively settle the National League East, New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso considered whether he had ever played in a series with so much at stake.
