The Return of the MVP

They better win. Votto might take it if they get the 2nd WC

I will laugh for at least a couple of days if the Padres don't make the playoffs.

Would be a crime if he did. Votto isn't even on pace to clear 4 WAR

 

[msstate7]

Mets are getting killed

If Dodgers get out of the WC if they dont catch SF, they're winning the NL. Not a wild take, i know. That roster is ridiculous.

 

[Heyward]

It's crazy after all the BS, bad luck, RAJ hurt, Ozuna, etc... the Braves are alone in first.

Wow

Looked at both teams schedules, Philly has a much easier schedule than we do. That Yankees/Giants x2/Dodgers stretch will tell alot.

Win % of Phillies remaining schedule is 468 compared to the Braves 489

It's going to come down to the final week imo

Mets just had 1st and 2nd with 1 out down 6-0. They bunted with pitcher and then took him out the game

I've been waiting for this run from the Braves all year - one 10-2 run and we go from 4 games back to 1 game up. It also seems like the luck is turning. Playing iffy against inferior talent and coming away with wins is something that could not happen in the first 100 games.

Outside of SF/LAD, the schedule is really really soft. We can afford to lose 2 out of 3 in both those series.

I do think it will come down to the final week, but honestly all it might take is one of these NLE teams going 14-2 against the soft schedule and the other team going 7-9 with their soft schedule.

Rojas does things that make Snitker look like an MIT graduate. He might be a good manager, I don’t know, but when I watch I am always confused by his tactics.

we also have he padres and a suspended padres game we are losing right?

I feel like the Braves schedule is full of studs or bottom feeders at this point. I'd rather have the phillies' schedule. I'd rather have the Braves' team. But if Nola gets hot, then Philly could be a problem.

Feels like it in the year of the injury, it will come own to who can remain the healthiest in the NL East. Phillies have been fortunate to avoid serious injuries for the most part like we have to key players. However, Nola hasn't had a typical season this year, and obviously Wheeler has been dominant.

would have been nice had MLB not gifted the Phillies a win over us when Bohm never touched home plate
