Why the Engine Rates Atlanta This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Atlanta in the upper third of MLB because the club owns a positive run differential (+121), limited speed and a below-average bullpen. Strong recent form is the department doing most of the lifting. Their staff ERA of 3.61 ranks 5th in MLB, and they score 4.88 runs per game (6th).

About the Braves

The Atlanta Braves compete in the National League East and play their home games at Truist Park, opened in 2017. The winningest franchise of the 1990s, and champions again in 2021. They are currently 72-48 (.600), 1st in the division, with a run differential of +121. Recent form has them 7-3 over their last ten, 40-21 at home, 32-27 on the road. On the 8th Day Engine's league-wide percentile ratings, their strongest department is momentum (Elite) and their weakest is speed (Below par). Those grades are measured against the other 29 clubs and move as the season does. Every Braves prediction on CleverScores is published before first pitch and graded afterwards in public, wins and misses alike.
