    The NL race is gonna be awesome . . .

    12 teams currently within 6 games of making the playoffs.

    Dodgers will win the West.

    Atlanta up by 6.5 on Nats, 7 on Mets, and 8 on Philly.

    Chicago leads Brewers by 1.5, Cards by 2 and Reds by 6.

    Giants, Snakes, and Dads are right there for the WC.

    I like the Reds as a dark horse.

    Like Carp said about Ryan 108 mph fastball.

    I ignored him after that. Doesn't exist.

    Feels like this Braves team is the least equipped for a playoff run of any Braves team I can remember. Hopefully a **** rotation and pen is the magic formula we were missing all the years.

    So Fried might be getting close to that ace territory after all....

    Just playing around with some numbers....if the Braves play their final 41 games at 1 game under .500, they would finish with 91 wins....The rest of the teams in the division would need the following win percentage to finish with 92 wins (gNats, Phillies, and Mets have 43 games remaining)

    gNats: currently 6 GB: would need to play .651 (win 65% of their remaining games) to overtake the Braves....that equates to 28 wins out of 43 games
    Phillies: currently 9 GB: would need to play .721 (win 72% of their remaining games) to overtake the Braves....that equates to 31 wins out of 43 games
    Mets: currently 9 GB: would need to play .721 (win 72% of their remaining games) to overtake the Braves...that equates to 31 wins out of 43 games

    Given some unforseen collapse on our end, this baby is over

    It’s not even close to over yet. 6 games with over 40 to play is not some insurmountable deficit.

    Not to mention too many head to head left with each team.

    Pretty sure it is already over, and the Braves are in 3rd place.

    I would like to point out all that has happened since this post. Is it still legal to publicly flog?
