At 82-56 with a +113 run differential, the Braves are on pace for about 96 wins. By Pythagorean expectation — the record their run scoring and prevention actually justify — they're in line with its runs. Run differential is the single best predictor of future record, so it's the number to watch as the season plays out. Because the model trusts those runs over the raw record, it projects them to finish around 95 wins — the number in the October odds above.
