As the Atlanta Braves take the field Saturday they will be trying to avoid their first four-game losing streak of the season. While most people will focus on Jake Odorizzi’s poor outing Friday, and to be clear he was bad, it is Atlanta’s offense that needs to get going in the worst way.
The Braves have scored just one run in the first two games of the series and their only extra-base hit came in Thursday’s 1-0 loss. They are 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and have left 16 men on base over the the last two days.
