The Braves will have quite a big group heading to the MLB All-Star Game in Los Angeles next week, but before that, first place is on the line in the NL East.

In this edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, AJC beat reporter Justin Toscano and Jay Black look at what went right in the first two legs of this homestand and preview the big series with the Mets, which starts Monday night.

You’ll also hear from Ronald Acuna, Dansby Swanson, Travis d’Arnaud and William Contreras about their All-Star selections.  Plus, Justin answers your mailbag questions, including a look at what the Braves might need at the trade deadline.
