The Braves have lost both games of the White Sox series so far and have one game left against Chicago this afternoon. One reason for the losses is the Sox slugger Carlos Quentin is having a field day at the plate. In two games, he is 4-for-7 with 3 homers, 6 RBI, and 4 runs scored. He has personally added .457 games of win probability in those two games. Since a full game of WPA is .500, I can say that the Braves really need to pitch around Quentin and make someone else beat us.
Atlanta still leads the NL East by half a game over the Mets. The Braves have a game left against the White Sox and then three at home against the Tigers. The Mets have a game against the Tigers today and then play the Twins. Hopefully, Atlanta will still lead the NL East at the end of the week.
