Yes, they can still win their division but it’s not looking good. The Giants magic number to clinch is just 2 and they play the struggling Padres this weekend.
Braves probably have the better lineup but the Brewers obviously have the better pitching staff. Should be a competitive series. Brewers in 5. This Braves team is a lot better than the Rockies team we faced in the NLDS in 2018.
I’m guessing guys like Strickland, Ashby and maybe Houser will get the 8th now. Maybe next year they’ll celebrate with some sparkling soda instead. Geez.
Call it a gut feeling but I’d rather face the Braves than the Phillies. I just wouldn’t be excited to face guys like Wheeler, Nola, Harper, etc. Phillies are playing good ball right now.
