The Atlanta Braves are going to have their hands full this week — no matter how today’s finale vs. San Diego turns out.
In our last Atlanta Braves podcast, the three of us were musing about what might constitute a successful final road trip to the West Coast. The consensus seemed to settle in on either a 5-6 or 6-5 run through those 11 games.
We are now set to play the 11th and final game of this trip and the Braves have a 5-5 record, pending today’s outcome. In theory, that was going to be a satisfactory result… except for one thing…
The Phillies have suddenly figured out how to beat up their weaker opponents.
