No matter the result on Thursday, the Atlanta Braves will complete the 2017 season with a winning record in the home park of its division rival, the Washington Nationals.
In 2015 and 2016, the Braves combined to go 1-19 at Nationals Park, in one of the worst runs of success — or lack thereof — imaginable for a team in a single ballpark.
But that has changed in 2017, as the Braves enter their final game at Nationals Park with a 6-3 mark, ensuring that they will not only exorcise those demons to a degree, but they will have a winning record.
