There is still work to be done, but the Atlanta Braves are in position to capture a fourth straight NL East division crown as they get set to continue their three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday night. The Braves have overcome countless obstacles this season to get to where they are.
Atlanta was five games under .500 and eight games out on June 16. Ronald Acuña Jr. went down with a knee injury on July 10. Still they continued to soldier on and reinforcements at the trade deadline bolstered their chances for a second half run.
