According to Baseball Prospectus, the Atlanta Braves have the third-best chance of reaching the post-season this year. Their playoff odds calculator gives us a 76.1 percent chance to reach October, behind only the Yankees and Rangers, who are one and two.
↵Sounds good, but why is nobody singing the Braves praises just yet? Probably because they know how good the Phillies and Mets could be down the stretch. I still think the NL East is going to be a tight race, regardless of whether or not we currently have the largest division lead in baseball.
