It seems like the record it's going to take to ensure winning the division is around 85 wins, which just requires the Braves to go .500 from here on out. In order to reach 85 wins, the Phillies would have to go 9-3 over their remaining 12 games, which includes a series with the Braves. The Phillies schedule is very easy, but if you assume they drop at least one game in the Pirates and Marlins series, the Braves really just need to beat them once and do better than 0.500 over their remaining games. It seems very unlikely that the Braves lose the division if they win the series with the Phillies.
