For me, that's easy. All Atlanta had to do was beat the Phillies, in a series where they were rested and could set their rotation, and had the extra home game. That would have convinced me they were the better team. But they lost, not in five games, but only four. Honestly, they were never in it from the start. They knew the rules. They had all the time in the world to prepare. They had last year as a reminder. For me, the best measure of a team's quality is how they play in the post-season. The Bravos failed that test - again.
And then, inexplicably, the Phillies failed that test. I know.
