If the Atlanta Braves are not going to be in the playoffs, fans can all get behind rooting against some of Atlanta's biggest rivals from the past and present. So far, that has been very fruitful as not only did the Mets collapse and miss the postseason, but the Yankees have been throttled by the Blue Jays in the first two games of the ALDS and now the Phillies have been pushed to the brink of elimination as well.
Unfortunately, one team that Braves fans hate is going to emerge from this series between the Dodgers and Phillies.
