The Braves are in the type of free-fall that typically only happens to teams in rebuild mode, which makes it fair to wonder what exactly is in store for this team over the final 98 games of the season.

Braves By The Numbers

• At 27-37, the Atlanta Braves have the fourth-worst record in the National League, and they are getting dangerously close to the Pirates and Marlins. The Braves are 14.0 games back of first place in the NL East, but they are only 2.5 games ahead of the Fish for last place. They are also already 9.5 games out of the final NL Wild Card spot.
• Yesterday marked the Braves’ seventh straight loss. From 2017 to 2024, Atlanta did not have one single seven-game losing streak. They already have two through the first 64 games of the 2025 campaign.
• The Braves have lost five straight games by one run, and in their last ten games decided by one run, they are 0-10, which feels like it has to be some type of record. One would think, just by mere luck, they would have found a way to win at least one of their last ten games decided by one run.
• With yesterday’s loss, the Braves have now lost a league-leading 19 games by one run in just 64 games. According to Shawn Coleman from Battery Power, that’s the most one-run losses through 64 games since the 1992 Los Angeles Dodgers.
• Despite being ten games under .500, the Braves still have a positive run differential, another stat that almost seems impossible.
• Since Ronald Acuña Jr. returned to the lineup, the Braves have lost 12 of 15 games.

The entirety of Braves Country seems to be at a loss for words after the events of the last three weeks. This is a club that is obviously more flawed than years past, but to say there is too much talent to be this bad would be a considerable understatement. The situation is getting dire fast in Atlanta, and nobody is walking through that door anytime soon to save this bunch. If they’re to make it out of this hole, it’s solely on the 26 guys in the clubhouse right now.
