Braves’ run prevention was really good coming into this series. Through Sunday’s win over Cleveland, the Braves had a league-best 59 ERA-, a sixth-in-MLB 89 FIP-, and a pedestrian 99 xFIP-.

The regular season is over, and the Celtics did that thing they’ve been doing for years: stacking wins, figuring things out on the fly, and somehow ending up right back in the mix heading into the playoffs.
