Only 3 games in. Balanced, and not in the fun way. Down by 3 last night. That result hits the score hard. Counterbalancing that, 2.0 RA/G this stretch. The pitching is carrying weight.

Braves News

The Atlanta Braves started the season on a high note, boasting a 2-0 record after a strong 6-2 victory against the Kansas City Royals at Truist Park. Ozzie Albies and Dominic Smith powered the offense, with the latter hitting an emotionally charged home run that energized the crowd. However, the thrill was slightly dampened as Spencer Strider was placed on the 15-day injured list, raising concerns about his availability. Despite this setback, the Braves' pitching staff is looking sharp, holding opponents to just 1.0 runs per game this week. New manager Walt Weiss seems to be making impactful decisions early on, which bodes well for a team that aims to avoid the slow start of last season. With a +10 run differential and momentum on their side, the Braves are poised to build on this promising start.
