“Unbreakable Dodgers Dominate as Winless Braves Face Shocking Reality: What This Means for Both Teams Moving Forward”
To make the postseason, the Braves need to make history
No team has ever started 0-7 and rebounded to qualify for the postseason. The most recent team to start 0-7 and finish with a winning record was the 1983 Astros, who were 0-9 out of the gate but finished 85-77. As dire as things seem right now, perhaps last year’s Houston club can also provide some solace regarding the Braves’ ominous start to the season.

Like Atlanta, Houston entered the 2024 season as a no-doubt, upper-echelon contender but stumbled badly in the early going, falling to 7-19 and sitting in last at the end of April. That awful first month had many questioning if the Astros’ run as annual postseason certainties had ended, but Houston eventually figured it out and posted the best record in the American League from May 1 through the end of the season, winning yet another division title.
