Just checked out the standings (Braves are 50-35 and up 5.5 on the Phillies and 7 on the Nationals) and noticed a couple of things.
1- Braves have the best road record by far in the NL at 26-18. The home record of 24-17 isn't bad but the Braves performance on the road in the first half is what has separated them in the division. The Phillies are 17-23 on the road. Ouch.
2- The Dodgers are an unbelievable 34-9 at home.
They are a decent 23-20 on the road but that home record is just insane. Haven't looked closely enough to see if their SOS at home has been much easier than their SOS on the road, but regardless they have been an absolute juggernaut at Chavez Ravine. I guess we saw that first hand when we got swept and outscored 23-7 out there early in the season.
Finally if you want to compare to last year after 85 games, the Braves are 1 game up on last years pace (they were 49-36 after 85 last year). And in the actual division standings last year after their 85th game they were 1.5 games up on the Phillies.

it only looks this good because of that last homestand. right before it started folks were bitching about how poorly the Braves play at home lol. Now it's fairly respectable.
But yeah, the Dodgers are absurd and while the Braves can definitely add some pieces to improve their chances, it might end up being a lost cause anyways
(don't interpret that as saying I don't want to add on to the roster. i am all in when it comes to going for it. i just don't think it'll make a difference in a potential NLCS).
