The Atlanta Braves have not had a good week. Finishing their most recent road trip with a 1-5, Atlanta’s coming off of a sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles
Finishing their most recent road trip with a 1-5, Atlanta’s coming off of a sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers and now find themselves in unfamiliar territory - in 2nd place, sitting two and half games back of the Philadelphia Phillies, who are 9-1 in their last ten games. The Braves haven’t been 2.5 games back in the divisional standings since September 23rd, 2022, although they came back to win the NL East on the season’s final day.
On the six-game road trip to Seattle and Los Angeles, Atlanta batted .168/.218/.244 with 58 strikeouts and only eight extra-base hits. They stranded thirty-one runners on base and scored a total of fourteen runs, just barely over two runs a game. The Braves had lost just one series all season heading into last week, but after getting swept by Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers on Sunday they are now smack dab in the middle of their first real bad stretch of the year. The high-powered Atlanta offense managed just 14 runs over six games against the Mariners and Dodgers, so getting back on track at the plate will be the key to a quick turnaround.
