Major League Baseball continues its grind through the dog days of summer. By now, the hunt for a playoff spot is long gone in many cities. Teams are below .500. They can’t even make it via the wildcard.
In Atlanta, however, Braves fans are invigorated. The team has the best record in baseball. It’s also running away with the National League East. With just 30 games left, as of this writing, the Braves lead the division by 13.5 games. At this point, it’s near impossible to not make the playoffs.
Many Braves ballplayers are having career years. Matt Olson leads the league in runs batted in by a wide margin. He’s second in home runs. Ozzie Albies. Austin Riley. Marcell Ozuna. All are on fire.
