Off Day

Gotta love an off day in September, especially when the team you're facing the next series is the Nats. Coming off such a big win as yesterday, a win in this series would vault the braves back to respectability. I hope. Take a look at every one else's next matchup.

Houston @ NY, The mets split their only other series with the 'Stros @ Houston. A fun number to throw out is that the Astros outscored the mets 17-14 in the series.

Fish @ Philly, The Phills dropped 2 of 3 to the lowly fish before coming to Atlanta. Oh, and the Fish hit Philly very well. They're slugging .512 against the Phills .456 in meetings this year. BTW: 5 Fish are hitting over .330 and slugging over .610 against them this year. One of which is pitching on Sunday.

The Braves are 7-5 against the Nats including a sweep last time out. The Bravos have a 60-31 run differential and Chipper has an OBPS of 1.149 against them. Ouch.

If we win the last 5 series we have an outside shot at the wildcard. Not much hope. Good news is we can at least finish second this year.
