NL East Showdown: Can Familiarity Unlock Hidden Power for Contenders?
The Braves are starting to once again climb out of whatever funk they were in to start the season. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I think they will make the playoffs, or be anything outside of a .500 team this year. Instead, I’ll go on the record with what I’ve said before – you don’t win divisions in the first month of the season, but you certainly can lose them. If the Braves didn’t start so poorly, their team would be above .500 for the year. I suppose that’s a good sign overall that they are still playing good baseball outside of that stretch. However, they still haven’t fully overcome what they needed to. Spencer Schwellenbach toes the rubber today. He’s been very strong for the Braves with a 5-4 record, 3.26 ERA, and a 1.01 WHIP. He has been far worse on the road, with an ERA about a run and a half higher than at home. He also just faced the Mets in his last outing and allowed four earned runs over seven innings of work.
