As a whole, this Braves offense is struggling at a level rarely seen in recent team history.
For only the fifth time since 1990, the Atlanta Braves offense as a whole is producing an OPS under .700 this far into a season. A few major reasons for the struggles have been bad luck and a bad ball (offense remains down across the majors), but entering Monday’s game, the Braves were 15th in the league in team OPS. Through this point of the season in 2019, they were 7th. In 2021, they were 9th.
