Behind the stellar play and big bats of Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Matt Olson, the Atlanta Braves have clinched the National League East title, a feat the squad has done six straight times.
If you’ve watched the Braves this year, you know that their offense has been one for the record books, but other teams are right behind them.
The Braves find themselves in a familiar place as they head into the Major League baseball playoffs. The team from Atlanta is one of the hottest in baseball and its dugout, bullpen and management are top-notch.
Braves Win Sixth Straight National League Title
Atlanta has now won 23 division titles, which lead the major leagues.
“They’re all special, and they’re all really hard,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “You should enjoy every time you get a chance to do this. It’s like I told them, ‘Don’t forget how this feels’ because it’s a really good feeling that lets you know your hard work is for something.”
Who Will The Braves Face In the Playoffs?
The Braves will likely get a first-round bye and begin postseason play the first week of October. The squad will also likely get home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
Many pundits are predicting a repeat showdown with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Final Swing
When the Braves won it all in 2021, they were underdogs. Not so this time: Atlanta is the favorite and everyone will be gunning for them. Will they be ready?
