There’s undeniable evidence that nearly the entire Braves lineup is currently enduring a slump. This downturn in performance has been influenced, in part, by facing formidable pitching, particularly from opposing relievers.
Despite the recent struggles, a return to Truist Park may offer a favorable change and potentially yield better outcomes for the team.
However, the upcoming series against the Boston Red Sox presents another formidable challenge. The Red Sox boast the best starting rotation ERA in the majors and their bullpen ranks among the top 10 in relief ERAs.
Fortunately, Atlanta will have Reynaldo Lopez and Chris Sale on the mound, both of whom have arguably been the team’s most effective pitchers this season.
Should Atlanta manage to ignite its offense, especially early in the game, it could result in a few much-needed wins.
