(Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves should consider themselves fortunate to still be in postseason contention given how poorly they have played the past few weeks. Still clinging to a marginal lead atop the National League Wild Card standings, the Braves will begin their final series of the regular season tonight in the opener of a three-game set versus the Philadelphia Phillies at Turner Field. The Braves are a game ahead of St. Louis for the final playoff berth in the NL and have lost five
