The Atlanta Braves are heading to the playoffs for the third consecutive year, where they will try to actually win a series for the first time in nearly two decades.
Atlanta clinched a spot in the expanded 2020 postseason with a win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. It has attempted to hold off the Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies for much of the season in the National League East, although finishing in second place or even one of the two wild-card spots was enough to make the playoffs this year.
The Braves didn't need the fall-back option, as they are NL East champions for the third straight season.
