It’s on to the 2020 postseason for the Braves, after concluding the 60-game coronavirus-affected regular season schedule. On Sunday, the Braves lost to the Red Sox 9-1, finishing with a 35-25 mark in the regular season.

Now, it’s the best-of-three wild card round that begins Wednesday. The #2 seed Braves – repeat champs of the NL East - will face the #7 seed Cincinnati Reds in the series to be played at Truist Park.

The Braves-Reds winner moves on to the NLDS. That would be played in Houston, part of major league baseball’s postseason bubble.
