Despite losing their series to the San Francisco Giants the Atlanta Braves have a chance to pick up steam with the rest of their Westcoast schedule.
I’ve admittedly given up on this Atlanta Braves team about 50-plus times throughout the 2021 season — including twice in that Giants series. But yet there are two weeks left in the season and they hold a two-game lead in the NL East.
Even though they certainly could have won that Giants series and are competitive with them and the Dodgers, no one they face the rest of the way is anywhere close to that level.
