Atlanta Braves Standings Analysis: Wild Card Update
Atlanta Braves Standings and Wild Card Dynamics
On Thursdays for the rest of the season, we will be doing a Wild Card update, looking at how the Mets and their competitors have fared since our last check-in. The Mets have gone 4-2 over their last six games, rising from being half a game out of the Wild Card race to holding a one-game lead over the Braves for the third spot. They achieved this by winning series against the Reds and the Blue Jays, while other teams in the race haven't performed as well. With two series against the Phillies in the upcoming ten days, it is vital for the Mets to keep the pressure on their competitors.
Current Standings and Competitor Analysis
Let’s take a closer look at the Wild Card standings:
- Diamondbacks: They went 3-3 last week, losing three in a row to the Giants and Astros but bouncing back against the Astros and Rangers.
- Padres: Their performance was disappointing, finishing 2-4 this week.
- Braves: The Braves struggled too, going 3-4 with disappointing losses to several teams.
The Padres have a particularly tough weekend ahead against the Giants, while the Braves face the formidable Dodgers, featuring Shohei Ohtani.
