Baseball can be a strange game. The oddness is compounded by this small sample size of a season. That's why I try not to get too carried away by the Braves.
But then I watch them keep winning despite rarely having their full squad available. I look at a second-half schedule that includes one opponent with a winning record. I noticed their FanGraphs odds to win the World Series (5.8%) have crept up to the point that, entering Thursday, only the Dodgers (17.9%) had higher odds in the National League.
Now I'm wondering how far these Braves can go.
