They are 2.5 back and the second-best team in baseball from May 1st onwards
The Braves won’t have to do anything at the deadline. They will get Soroka back in August and anything he gives them is just extra.
And Albies will come back from his broken foot.
They may not win the division, but Baseball reference has them at a 94.5 % chance to make the playoffs.
Back to back championships are unlikely in any sport. But they are hardly a weak team.
