Blew a 6-1 lead to lose again to the Marlins. That's 5 in a row they've lost against the Marlins.

To put it in perspective, the Braves are 8-1 against the Marlins.

Braves are just shooting fish in a barrel right now. I'm just surprised that the lead is only 6.5 with how dog shit the rest of that division has been. (Yes, I'm aware that the Twins are in a similar situation.)

the Braves were a mediocre team through the first forty games of the season. Riley's bat injected new life to the team and they haven't really looked back since.

Braves were hovering around .500 until mid May and then they seemed to have flipped a switch(Acuna moved back to leadoff and Austin Riley coming up really gave us a much needed boost). We were down 4.5 games at one point.

I kinda doubt it.

Yall are 13-3 in your last 16 games, but have hardly made up any ground on us, and playing Marlins-Tigers-Marlins-Royals while we're playing playoff teams isn't gonna impress anyone.

But Phillies back to third place.

Allowed the entire Braves starting infield to homer in the same game for the first time since 1961.

They're only 5 back in the loss column.

Their schedule is gonna get a lot tougher after the AS break. Don't get me wrong, they're doing what they're supposed to do against the bad teams, but we're the only good team they've played in a month, and they lost that series at home.

There are very few good teams in the NL though.

Braves
Dodgers

That's it lol. All the others are ok or just bad.

They have a chance to cut the lead down before their big series with the braves in 2 weeks.

Braves are in Milwaukee and San Diego after the AS before that series while the Nats are in Philly and Baltimore.

Won't be surprised if the Braves are only up 4 games entering that series

There's not a lot of awful teams in the NL either though. Marlins, Mets, Giants, that's about it. They've been playing them along with the rebuilding teams of the AL Central for the whole month of June and early July.

And they've only faced us in 5 games this season, they're gonna have to deal with us a lot more in the second half. If they play us tough, they have a shot, but we've had their number in recent years, and we handle Scherzer better than most teams.

Maybe because they’re in Philadelphia.

City is a scum haven.
