The Braves are 8-5. Let’s just read that again. The Braves are 8-5! Under a difficult first stretch of schedule Atlanta is playing some stellar baseball and now will return home with a record at least over .500. The Braves are sporting a run differential of +30 right now which stands third in all of baseball and first in the National League to date.
Today the Braves will look to reach some territory that hasn’t been reached since April 19, 2015, the last time that Atlanta was four games over .500. They will face a tough lefty today in tough conditions but anything is possible with the way the Braves are swinging the bats.
