In this edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, sports journalist Gabriel Burns joins co-host Jay Black to discuss how Atlanta officially locked up another trip to the postseason and how long it might take to finish off another division title.

We will look ahead to the big series against the Phillies this week. Gabe will also explain why he thinks the Braves are the clear favorite to win the National League pennant and why anything short of the World Series would be a disappointment.

We will also talk about Andruw Jones’ number retirement and look at who could be next in line.
