And I think at the same time now, you can look at this Dodgers series.
You swept the Dodgers.
You went 5-1 against the two-time defending World Series champions that have a roster full of former MVPs and MVP-caliber talents and Cy Young-caliber talents and former Cy Young winners.
And Blake Snell and Tarik Skubal together have four Cy Youngs.
And Atlanta beat them five games to one.
And at the end of the day, I think this series is a big deal.
It's going to be difficult for Atlanta to beat or to catch the Dodgers for the number two seed in the National League.
The Braves are 79-55.

They hold the tiebreaker.
