MLB Playoff Races Heat Up in August

The Atlanta Braves are looking to strengthen their playoff position with a series against the Los Angeles Angels after a successful but not flawless trip to San Francisco. Charlie Morton recently celebrated his 2,000th career strikeout, contributing to the Braves' win against the Giants. Meanwhile, the New York Mets, struggling in the Wild Card race, have signed former Braves hero Eddie Rosario to bolster their lineup. The Milwaukee Brewers are eyeing a postseason spot and may benefit from the Dodgers' surprising decision to designate Amed Rosario for assignment. As the MLB season nears its end, the playoff races are heating up, with tight competition in both leagues and several teams, including the Royals and Phillies, vying for Wild Card spots.
