I presume this is because they're affiliated with the Billings Mustangs.

Seems like a lot of the country is getting Braves Tigers. why, because Interleague?

Philly/Mets is really third string isn't it? I mean, I'll take Kevin over those other two booths any day, but how Fox sees it.

Take off those partisan blinders for a second and realize that Detroit, Atlanta, Washington and Cincinnati are all expected to contend for the playoffs. The Phillies and Mets are not.

wasn't commenting on the deservedness of it, was just sorta noting it seemed like it was the third string group. These maps are always bonkers anyway, but just seems a larger swatch of Braves Tigers than is probably appropriate.
