The bats of the Atlanta Braves have been unstoppable this season.
It shouldn't be that surprising that the Braves are pushing for the home run record. Five Atlanta batters rank top-15 in home runs this season — Matt Olson , Ozuna , Austin Riley , Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies . The Braves would become the first time since those 2019 Twins to have five players with at least 30 home runs each if Acuña Jr. and Albies add to their totals.."That's how we're constructed, and the guys do it.
Atlanta is 13.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East with an 87-45 record and remain four games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the top seed in the National League. But the manner in which they've won games is even more impressive. The Braves hold a plus-235 run differential this season, which is 49 runs higher than the second-best Tampa Bay Rays. Oddly enough, that still isn't higher than the the all-time record set by the Dodgers in 2022, who finished with a plus-334 run differential. Two other teams — the 1998 New York Yankees and 2001 Seattle Mariners — also finished with at least a plus-300 run differential.
Part of this is thanks to the home runs, but the Braves have also just been incredibly deadly at the plate overall. Atlanta has the highest batting average and OPS with a league-leading 744 RBIs and 5.83 average runs per game. The Braves are cruising to a sixth-consecutive NL East title and very well could be on their way to another deep postseason run if the team's impressive offensive play continues. The home run record would be an even better cherry on top to Atlanta's sensational season.
