Braves blow a perfect opportunity to close the gap with the Mets getting destroyed tonight. Another 1-run loss. They are now 6-11 in 1-run games in the 2nd half. That’s a direct reflection of poor management. If they are even 8-9 in that department they are tied for the last wildcard.
 
Illinois goes into Nebraska and gets the win. This is after all the media was hyping them this week and saying “Nebraska is back!”

I am not surprised because Illinois has found ways to win challenging close games while Nebraska has repeatedly been Charlie Brown by finding entertaining ways to lose close games similar to the Chargers.

I expect Big Red overreaction to have ridiculous reactions by Cornhuskers fans to Nebraska losing a coin flip game to Illinois.
 
Worst 1-run game winning percentage:

11-29 (.275) White Sox
15-27 (.357) Reds
16-26 (.381) Astros
14-18 (.389) Nationals
16-24 (.400) Braves

The Astros have the worst overall winning percentage of all the divisional leaders but they are 9-9 in 1-run games in the 2nd half so they have been better. Braves have been bad in those games all season. These are the games that are the difference in making the postseason and being left out.

The Astros were third worst at extra innings in MLB at 5-10 until they beat the Padres this past week, 4-3.
