home stand for the Braves against the Mets still to come. Not so much a case of catching them as holding them off.

If the Braves can take advantage of playing the Marlins while the Mets are playing the Phillies, they might be able to do it.


I have my doubts though, with a team that 1 year removed from setting the team slugging record seems to be trying to set the record for worst slugging percentage this season.
