Atlanta Braves Final Wild Card Standings (2024)
The 2024 Wild Card chase was a memorable one, even if it ended on a curious tone. The Atlanta Braves and NY Mets had to play an extra two games on the day after the regular season ended. The Diamondbacks, who were also tied with the Mets and Braves, had to sit and watch what appeared to be a choreographed agreement to split the series. The Braves held the tiebreaker over the Diamondbacks and the Mets and therefore finished second in the WC standings and flew to San Diego for a series with the Padres.

Final 2024 NL East Standings
The Atlanta Braves finished a strong, albeit disappointing, 2024 season, securing a second-place finish in the highly competitive NL East with an 89-73 record. Despite battling through injuries and a few tough stretches, the Braves managed to keep pace with the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies, ending the season just 6 games back thereby ending the Braves' streak of six consecutive division championships.

Atlanta Braves Historical Standings
The Atlanta Braves have experienced a mix of successes and challenges after the famous run in the 1990s. We won the National League East division multiple times, including a strong stretch in the early 2000s and a resurgence in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

Final 2023 NL East Standings
In 2023, the Bravos cruised to a 104-win season, which was more than enough to take down the NL East division once again. Though they eventually ran into a red hot Phillies team that ended their season, the year was still a historic one for the Braves. Star Ronald Acuna won the leagues MVP becoming the first player in history to hit 40 home runs and steal 70 bases.

Final 2022 NL East Standings
The 2022 season ended in a photo finish. The Braves trailed the Mets by 10.5 games in early June, then opened the month with a 14-game winning streak and spent the rest of the summer closing the gap. They finally caught New York by sweeping them at Truist Park in the final home series of the year, and both clubs finished 101-61. There was no tiebreaker game to settle it; the new CBA had eliminated them, so the division went to Atlanta on the head-to-head tiebreaker and the Mets were dropped into the Wild Card round. It was the Braves' fifth straight NL East title and their first 100-win season since 2003. The Phillies, 14 games back in third, are the ones who ended Atlanta's year, taking the NLDS in four.

They ended the season 6.5 games ahead of the second-place Philadelphia Phillies. The team's strong finish, with an 8-2 record in their last 10 games, helped secure their division title.
The Braves' success continued into the postseason, where they ultimately triumphed in the World Series, defeating the Houston Astros in six games. This victory marked their first World Series title since 1995, capping off a remarkable season for the team.

Final 2014 NL East Standings
By the end of 2014, the Braves had gone from a postseason regular to a club headed for a major reset. Atlanta released Dan Uggla on July 18, ending a difficult four-year run even though more than $18 million remained on his contract. The larger problem was that the lineup never recovered: a late 4-16 stretch knocked the Braves out of the race and made the September finish feel worse than the final record alone suggests. General manager Frank Wren was dismissed on September 22, one day after elimination, and John Hart took over on an interim basis. We still had excellent work from the pitching staff, but the offense could not support it consistently, especially during the final six weeks. Washington pulled away with 96 wins, while Atlanta finished tied with New York at 79-83. That second-place result closed the competitive phase of the roster and led directly into the front-office overhaul and rebuilding moves that followed.

Final 2013 NL East Standings
Atlanta's 2013 division title came after an offseason built around putting the Upton brothers in the same outfield. B.J. Upton signed a five-year free-agent deal, and Justin Upton arrived from Arizona in a seven-player trade. The lineup was uneven, but the club's depth and pitching carried it through a difficult summer. Tim Hudson suffered a season-ending ankle fracture on July 24; two days later, the Braves began a 14-game winning streak that opened a comfortable division lead. Jason Heyward then missed about a month after a pitch fractured his jaw on August 21, yet returned before the postseason. Atlanta won 96 games and finished 10 ahead of Washington, with Craig Kimbrel again anchoring the bullpen. The year ended in the NLDS against the Dodgers, who won the series in four games. It remains one of the stronger regular seasons of the post-1990s era, even though the October exit left a familiar sense that the club had not fully cashed in.

Final 2012 NL East Standings
Chipper Jones announced before the 2012 season that it would be his last, turning the schedule into a farewell tour while the Braves stayed in the race from beginning to end. Atlanta won 94 games behind a deep pitching staff, and Kris Medlen became nearly unbeatable after moving into the rotation. The club won 23 consecutive regular-season games started by Medlen, a streak that made him the natural choice for the new one-game Wild Card round. That game became the lasting image of the season. Atlanta committed three errors against St. Louis, then appeared to load the bases in the eighth when Andrelton Simmons' popup fell between two fielders. Umpire Sam Holbrook had already called the infield-fly rule, and the ruling stood through a long delay as fans threw debris onto the field. The Cardinals won 6-3, ending both the Braves' season and Jones' career. A 94-win team was gone after one chaotic afternoon.

Final 2011 NL East Standings
Few Braves seasons changed direction as sharply as 2011. When September began, Atlanta held an 8.5-game lead over St. Louis for the National League Wild Card, and a return to October looked secure. Instead, the Braves went 9-18 during the final month as the offense stalled and the pitching staff wore down. The collapse ended on September 28 with a 4-3, 13-inning loss to Philadelphia, while the Cardinals completed their comeback and took the postseason spot. Earlier in the year, Dan Uggla supplied one of the strangest bright spots in team history: after a miserable start at the plate, he produced a 33-game hitting streak, the longest of the Atlanta era. Craig Kimbrel also emerged as an elite closer and won the NL Rookie of the Year award. None of that softened the finish. The Braves ended 89-73, 13 games behind a 102-win Phillies club, and missed the playoffs by one game after controlling the Wild Card race for most of the summer.

Final 2010 NL East Standings
Bobby Cox's final season gave Atlanta one more postseason run before the managerial era changed. Rookie Jason Heyward homered in his first major-league plate appearance on Opening Day, immediately becoming the face of a younger roster. The Braves spent much of the summer in first place, but injuries altered the lineup: Chipper Jones tore the ACL in his left knee in August, and Martin Prado later missed the postseason with a hip pointer and torn oblique. Atlanta still clinched the Wild Card on the final day and finished 91-71, six games behind Philadelphia. The NLDS against San Francisco was close from start to finish, with all four games decided by one run. The Braves won Game 2 in extra innings but lost the series 3-1, and defensive mistakes became part of the story during Cox's last games in the dugout. It was not the ending we wanted, but the season restored October baseball to Atlanta after a four-year absence.
