The vaunted 104 win Braves could be in serious trouble if they can’t solve Wheeler in this evening’s NLDS game 2. The O’s with 101 regular season wins can attest that winning 100 or more games means absolutely nothing when you’re 1 loss away from elimination and need to win 3 in a row to survive and advance to the next round. In any event, the WC teams sure do look good so far. I’ve always thought teams that have to scratch and claw until the very end may hold an edge. Keeps them up to genuine game speed. That first round bye may not be the all it’s cracked up to be.
