Hopefully not bad juju but:

2013: Clinched on game 155, lost in the NLDS
2018: Clinched on game 155, lost in the NLDS
2019: Clinched on game 155, ????


This team's different though. For real. It started feeling that way in about the middle of May when you could sense the fight in the team and it carried on for the rest of the year.
 
Ask8ball hurt me this morning by saying this Braves team isn't going to win the NLDS.

But for real, although there's one thing that would make you think, this just seems like it has to be the team that ends the streak for the Braves. The one thing that would give pause, is that St Louis right now is acting like the kind of team that would knock out the division winning streak Braves. They weren't great until after the break this year, but now they've been on fire, and although their offense isn't anything special, they grind it out, paired with great pitching (and the best bullpen in the NL this year).

Then, for the first time since I was really young, you're highly likely to see the Braves favored by many to win this NLDS assuming it happens (and it's trucking towards being very likely). St Louis might have pitching, but otherwise they're just not the better team if you look at it through talent, despite the history for them (outside of most recently).
