If the season ended today, the Braves would host the San Diego Padres in the best of three wild card series at Truist Park, with the winner of that series set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the next round.
Following their World Series championship last season, the team certainly has its eyes set on repeating as World Series champions again in 2022.
