This has been an enjoyable ride so far. Sweeping in Philly is incredible, especially playing in front of the most hostile fans in mlb - I have no doubt they would cheer if an opponent was hit in the face by a pitch and had to be carted off the field.
I know you will say, "But this isn't sustainable", but did you notice that the four starting pitchers for the Braves against Washington did NOT have an ERA >3 whereas the Washington pitchers did not have an ERA <3? If you (i) score more runs than the other teams in the league, and (ii) have the best defense/pitching in the league, it is DIFFICULT to NOT win the division.
