ATL BRAVES

With the Phillies clinching their claim to the NL East pennant, the Braves still have plenty to play for.  The Braves and Padres are fighting for the final spot in the NL Wild Card race, the last spot for the playoffs.  With the Padres losing last night to the Cubs in a 1-0 heartbreaker, the Braves have a solid two game lead in the wild card standings, and control their own playoff destiny.  The Braves and Padres both play their final 3 regular season games vs the top teams in their divisions.  If the Braves can win tonight and the Padres lose, the Braves will clinch a spot in the playoffs.
