The Braves entered their two-game series against the Yankees as one of the hottest teams in baseball. Losing both games was unfortunate, but the club was very competitive and certainly looked the part of a legitimate contender. Now, with just over a month remaining in the season, Atlanta continues their run of games against tough opponents. This weekend, the Braves will host the Giants, then head to Los Angeles and Colorado. Playing these teams will pose challenges for Atlanta, but should also give them a better idea of where they stand among the elite teams in the National League.
