Tom's Braves have been a lot like the "real" Braves of the 1990s. Since 2011, the Braves have won the NL East nine times, but have only one World Series championship to show for it.
The Braves won the Series in 2012, when Tom was still in the minor leagues. They've played in two World Series since then, in 2013 and 2019. Tom made his debut in '14, so he's been a member of one pennant-winning club.
The Dodgers, Braves, and Marlins are clearly the best teams in the National League right now. That's how they stand in the NL Power Rankings. In the American League, the Detroit Tigers are enjoying another great season. The Tigers have won the AL Central five straight times, and they're on pace to win over 100 games this year. The Rays and Yankees are also very good clubs; one will win the AL East and the other looks like a lock for the AL wild card.
