‘Gruesome’ series leaves Braves with sinking feeling in Philadelphia again

PHILADELPHIA — The Atlanta Braves have the pending National League Most Valuable Player in Ronald Acuna Jr.

The Atlanta Braves have the should-be National League Cy Young Award winner in Spencer Strider.

The Braves were the winningest team in the regular season, going 104-58, finishing 14 games ahead of their nearest NL East opponent … the Phillies.

The Braves’ .276 team batting average was by far the best in baseball. They were also first in home runs (307, tying the most in baseball history) and RBIs (916) and OPS (.845).

They had probably the best starting arm in the majors, and certainly more lineup firepower than any club, one through nine.
