"The Atlanta Braves are currently on a five-game winning streak, which is tied for their longest winning streak of the season. Depending how much you're into this race, you're either going to think that this streak is really fun or potentially detrimental to building up their farm system with next season's draft. If you're in that latter group then you might want to be rooting for some of Atlanta's competitors in this "race" to start getting hot."
"Happy days are here again for the Cubs as this win clinched a spot in the Postseason for the Northsiders. The Pirates did put up a fight in this one, as it was 4-4 after two innings that saw Pittsburgh counter a four-run top of the first from Chicago with three in the bottom of the first and then a game-tying, bases-loaded walk from Andrew McCutchen in the second inning. That was as good as it got for Pittsburgh, though. Eventually, the Pirates committed two costly errors in the sixth inning that resulted in Chicago being able to go ahead by putting up three runs on the board in response."
The Atlanta Braves have a five-game winning streak tied for their season high, creating tension between winning now and protecting draft positioning for farm rebuilding. The Chicago Cubs clinched a postseason berth after a game in which Pittsburgh rallied early to tie 4-4 but later committed two costly sixth-inning errors that allowed Chicago to score three runs and take the lead. The Pirates have won only one of their last ten games, improving their lottery odds. In another game, the Twins led 2-1 early, Trent Grisham hit multiple homers, and the Yankees staged a multi-hit rally to take control before the Twins answered in the fifth.
