The final stretch, really the last 100m of the 2022 Major League Baseball playoff horse race unfolded before us and the defending World Series Champions showed us they are ready to defend their title. The Atlanta Braves entered the week just behind the rival National League East New York Mets, and left it front with a magic number of one to clinch. Led by key offseason acquisition Matt Olson, the Braves won 5 out of 6, including a sweep against the Mets to take a two-game lead. Olson pounded the Nationals and Mets at a 9-18 clip with an astounding 5 HR and 9 RBI. Including 3 HR and 5 RBI in what is probalby the deciding series in the NL East. Olson has been a star for the underpublicized A's but now may get his chance in the postseason to show his star ability. Matt Olson is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
