Atlanta Braves move back into 3rd place in the wild card chase - Gone from Division Leaders in the National League East to batting to make post season - too many injuries - 3 starting pitchers down (Strider/Lopez and Morton) and having to rely on relievers as starters- Albies/Acuna Jnr/Harris missing long term - batting has declined as well as only Marcel Ozuma is batting .300 or above - others down .40 or more in their career batting averages.
Division winners qualify for post season and then the next best 3 from any division
Philadelphia Phillies (National League East) - .590 - 45 games to play / Milwaukee Brewers ( National League Central ) - .578 - 45 games to play and LA Dodgers (National League West) - .581 - 45 games to play are the current division leaders
Wild Card Chase - top 3 advance to post season- San Diego Padres - . 559 - 2.5 games behind Dodgers - 44 games to play
- Arizona Diamondbacks - . 551 - 3.5 games behind Dodgers - 44 games to play
- Atlanta Braves - .526 - 7.5 games behind Phillies - 46 games to play
- NY Mets - .521 - 8 games behind Phillies - 45 games to play
- San Francisco Giants - ,513 - 8 games behind Dodgers - 43 games to play
- St Louis Cardinals - . 508 - 8 games behind Brewers - 44 games to play

Been a tough patch for my Braves - hopefully they will turn the corner after the 11-8 win
“I’ve been part of some pretty special teams,” Braves veteran reliever A.J. Minter said. “You’ve got to embrace the suck, just as much as you [embrace the good] when everything is going good.”
This has been one of the roughest stretches ever experienced by a Braves team with legit postseason aspirations. Atlanta went six straight seasons without a six-game losing streak, but they have now endured two since the All-Star break.
“I’ll say this until I’m done,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “We’ve got a lot of time to do something really good. I don’t care if people like hearing that or not. It’s the way I feel.”
“This game is going to test you as a player and test you as a man,” Minter said. “We’re just going to continue to show up to the ballpark every day and just play for the Atlanta Braves.”
