The Atlanta Braves have the Good and the Bad in their 2012 Season. The Good is they lead the NL Wild Card by 5 Full Games. The Bad is that they are 8.5 Games out from the NL East Leading Washington Nationals.

The NL won the All-Star Game so they NL Pennant Winner for the World Series will have Home-Field Advantage. It is also important to have Teams come to you in the Divisional and the NLCS.
