The Atlanta Braves right now have only one way to win, by holding the opponent to three or fewer runs. If they want to be the competitive franchise fans expect them to be, that needs to change, they need to win some games with offense.

The Atlanta Braves are 0 for their last 27 games in which they have allowed 4 or more runs. They simply have not out-slugged anyone for the majority of this season, and that isn't the sign of a strong well-rounded team.


The Braves are 9-games over .500 right now, and of the 15 teams who have more wins than losses this season, they have the 4th worst offense in terms of runs scored. If they want to chase down the Phillies or find success in the postseason, they've got to find way to win beyond just stellar starting pitching and bullpen arms.
