The Atlanta Braves were the class of Major League Baseball, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, a record that might never be broken. But from 2005 till the present the Braves have not only yet to win a division title, but have missed the playoffs as well. The Braves are making a push for the playoffs but lately have met some teams that have been hot in the Reds, Padres and the Marlins. Although Atlanta has not faired well against these teams lately, they are still in the mix in the wild card race and are as of now 6 games behind. The Braves need to continue to rely on their starting pitching, with a mix of young talent and and established veterans the Braves staff have kept their team in this race. But in the last few games the middle of the lineup has been unreliable, if these hitters do not pick up the slack, the season for the braves will soon be all but over.
