For those rooting to tank, Atlanta has a pretty tough schedule left:
6 vs. NYM
4 vs. PHI
6 vs. CHC
3 vs. Cleveland, Detroit, Seattle, Houston
I can see this team going 10-3 in their last 13 when they play Washington 7 times, Pittsburgh 3 times, and Detroit 3 times to hurt their draft lottery odds for a top 5 pick. It would be just like 2025 Atlanta to win too much in September, fall out of a top 10 pick in the lottery, and lose their draft pick in the 30s because they sit Drake too much and Collins wins ROY.
