While things have widened out at the top, the race for the final Wild Card spot in the National League intensified this week with four teams lining up for what could be a chaotic finish.
At the top of the standings, the Atlanta Braves completed an 8-2 western road trip and capped it off by taking three of four games from the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves at 90-46, now lead the Dodgers by six full games for the top seed in the National League. By taking the season series, Atlanta also holds the tie breaker over Los Angeles should they end the season tied.
