What does the Atlanta Braves schedule hold down the stretch?

As of August 6th, the Atlanta Braves have just 46 games remaining on the schedule.

We are approaching the ever-important stretch run, where teams play the majority of their games against division rivals. In a tough NL East, the Atlanta Braves will have to fight to keep their heads above water.

The schedule the rest of the way presents some challenges, but also provides stretches where we can gain ground or fend off the Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies.

Here are some breakdowns of the remaining 48 games on the Atlanta Braves 2019 schedule. The Minnesota Twins will be excluded, but depending on the day that you’re reading this, we obviously either have one or two more games against a team that’s above .500 from the AL Central.

In a tweet, a fan gave an interesting depiction of what the Atlanta Braves need to do to cruise to a division title, and to even finish a game better than they did last year.

Essentially, if the Braves play .500 baseball for the rest of the season (I certainly hope they don’t) then both the Nationals and Phillies have to win 35 games to catch us. The Mets need 39 wins, and the Marlins, 50.

Here are some break downs and analysis. We’ll start with the most important, those division games.

Lately, the race has heated up even more with the resurgence of the New York Mets. As of August 6th, the Atlanta Braves held a six-game lead over both Washington and Philadelphia.
