The Atlanta Braves have been a force to be reckoned with in the month of June over the past two seasons. Can they provide an encore that would get them rolling again at the plate in 2024?
After a couple of injury scares in Boston, the Braves are stopping in Washington for a four-game series against the Nationals and aiming to get even for dropping 3-of-4 to the Nats at Truist Park last week. What are the offensive trends in MLB telling us about the Braves struggles this season? After diving into the numbers, it could be more than you think. As Atlanta continues to wait for the results to match the talent level, a return to form for Austin Riley and Matt Olson which could back up Marcell Ozuna would go a long way toward getting the club back up and running in the run-scoring department.
With the pitching staff once again leading the way, Max Fried has been front and center in Atlanta’s success on the mound. Alongside Chris Sale, who knew that the Braves could have two Top 10 pitchers in MLB despite losing Spencer Strider for the season after just two starts? The performance of those two lefties has helped keep Atlanta on track in an NL East race that has favored the Philadelphia Phillies over the first two-plus months.
