The 2023 MLB trade deadline is just around the corner. The new playoff format has a lot of teams in the mix, setting up an intriguing final push to the deadline. While Shohei Ohtani isn’t going anywhere, blockbuster deals are already flying in. There’s a lot to decipher before the playoff push for the 2023 […]

The Atlanta Braves are the best team in baseball. They feature plenty of talent on their roster and appear poised to make another deep playoff run. In 2021, Atlanta’s World Series winning year, the Braves utilized a tremendous bullpen effort to propel them to a championship. Their relief core has been solid but injury-plagued in […]

The Atlanta Braves might be on top of the National League, but that doesn’t mean that they’re standing pat at the trade deadline. Quite the opposite, actually: the team has some glaring issues that need to be addressed. What exactly are these problems? Well, Atlanta is reportedly looking for pitching help, particularly in the bullpen, […]

The Atlanta Braves continue to sit atop their perch in the NL East, running away with the division crown with a 67-36 record and an 11.5 game cushion over second-place Miami Marlins. And things may yet get better for the team with the best record in baseball. Per the official Braves Twitter account, AJ Minter […]

The New York Mets moved on from future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer on Saturday, trading him to the Texas Rangers. As the MLB Trade Deadline inches closer, speculation exists that they may move another future Hall of Famer in Justin Verlander. And one potential suitor could be New York’s division rival Atlanta Braves. The […]

The Atlanta Braves announced that they have acquired infielder Nicky Lopez from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for left-handed reliever Taylor Hearn. Nicky Lopez has played in 67 games for the Royals this season, and is batting .210 with a .322 on-base percentage, according to Fangraphs. Lopez is in his fifth year in the […]

It’s hard to believe, but the Atlanta Braves are actually walking wounded this season. While they’ve largely been dominant this season, their pitching staff has been decimated by injuries. The most notable name on their injury list is ace Max Fried, who’s been out for quite some time now. After a lengthy rehab session (and […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is amazing, which is the least you can say about him, considering the astounding job he’s been doing night in and night out on the field in the 2023 MLB regular season, thus far. Acuna left baseball fans enthralled once again during Saturday’s game between the Braves and the […]

For former MLB pitcher Dontrelle Willis, the Atlanta Braves should go after San Diego Padres closer Josh Hader. Willis, who pitched in the big leagues for nine years and was a former two-time All-Star, the Braves will look even more lethal with Hader on the roster. Let's play Deadline Dealin' 🎲@The_ChrisMyers gives @DTrainMLB potential trade […]

After dropping two of three to their National League counterparts last week, the Milwaukee Brewers will have their chance at revenge as they make their way through another three-game series with the Atlanta Braves. It is time for us to check out our MLB odds series as we make our Braves-Brewers prediction and pick. Currently […]

The Atltana Braves are building something special up in Georgia. Over the last few years, GM Alex Anthopoulos has earned every bit of trust from the fans with his savvy roster building moves. In fact, his moves at the 2021 deadline helped secure the Braves’ World Series win. With the 2023 trade deadline looming (and […]

It looks like Atlanta Braves pitcher AJ Minter is really close to returning from his left shoulder injury. Minter last played for the Braves on July 8 against the Tampa Bay Rays. However, a shoulder inflammation pushed Minter on the 15-day injured list. While he is now eligible to play, he has yet to suit […]

It is a cliche, but the Atlanta Braves (64-36) might not be compelled to make a huge move ahead of the trade deadline because a healthy Max Fried is a high-end addition in its own right. But that might have to be put on hold just a bit longer. The lefty, who remains on the […]

The Milwaukee Brewers will begin a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. We are in Atlanta, sharing our MLB odds series, making a Brewers-Braves prediction and pick while showing you how to watch. It is a potential playoff preview as the Brewers will face the Braves. Therefore, we will see great baseball […]

MLB relievers do not get as much stability as they would like to. They barely see playing time or even get to pitch in some innings when the stars are around. A common experience would also be that they get outrighted and waived. This is exactly what happened to Rowan Wick and the Chicago Cubs. […]

The Atlanta Braves still have the best record in MLB, though the team isn’t playing its best baseball at the moment. Spencer Strider got the start in the Braves’ 5-3 loss against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. It marked Atlanta’s seventh loss in 10 games and the third straight start in which Spencer Strider […]

While the Atlanta Braves still hold a 10 game lead in the AL East, the team has been on a losing skid recently. Manager Brian Snitker has watched the losses pile up, but doesn’t want the Braves to panic just yet. Atlanta has gone just 4-7 in their last 11 games. Snitker understands the rigors […]

Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider continues to be a strikeout machine on the mound in the 2023 MLB regular season. The 23-year-old punchout artist added 10 more strikeouts to his total this season with another sterling performance in his final start of July. With that, he’s joined an extremely exclusive group of 25-year-old hurlers who […]

The 2023 Atlanta Braves have been one of the best teams in baseball this season. In fact, they still have the league’s best record at 64-35. Yet, since the All-Star break, they are 4-6, winning only one out of their three series played. It’s a long season, with a little over two months to go, […]

The Atlanta Braves take on the Boston Red Sox in the final game between these two teams this season. Below we will continue our MLB odds series as we hand out a Braves-Red Sox prediction and pick. We will also let you know how to watch the game. The Red Sox won the game on […]

The Atlanta Braves have been in cruise control for much of the 2023 MLB season, but they weren’t at their best on Tuesday night in their 7-1 loss against the Boston Red Sox. Not much was going right for the Braves in this one (although they did manage to pull off a historic triple play), […]

The Atlanta Braves have been the best team in the MLB for the past few months, and they are in firm control of the top playoff seed in the National League ahead of the 2023 MLB trade deadline. Things didn’t go too well for the Braves, though, in their 7-1 loss to the Boston Red […]

The Atlanta Braves have already started making moves ahead of the 2023 MLB trade deadline. Earlier this week, they traded for two relief pitchers, Pierce Johnson and Taylor Hearn. Johnson was acquired via trade from the Colorado Rockies for Victor Vodnik, which was a Braves top-30 prospect, while Hearn was traded for cash considerations from […]

The best team in the majors, the Atlanta Braves, faces off against the Boston Red Sox. It is now time to continue our MLB odds series with a Braves-Red Sox prediction, pick, and how-to watch. The Braves enter the game after taking two of three from the Brewers over the weekend. Atlanta is in a […]

Sal Frelick was called up a few days ago and had his highly-anticipated debut for the Milwaukee Brewers, and he has not disappointed. In fact, Frelick is just the second Brewers player ever to record five hits and a home run in their first three games, according to ESPN. The only other player to do […]

Could Adam Duvall become a member of the Atlanta Braves for the third time in his career? With the MLB trade deadline just one week away, Atlanta could make a move on the veteran outfielder. The Braves have expressed interest in retaining Duvall’s services, per MassLive.com’s Sean McAdam. If a potential deal falls through, Duvall […]

As the trade deadline rapidly approaches, it appears the Atlanta Braves simply cannot quit its love affair with former All-Star slugger and current Boston Red Sox outfielder, Adam Duvall. Already dealt to the Braves twice in his 10-year career, a third transaction could be on the horizon according to Sean McAdam of MassLive.com. A deal […]

We’re entering one of the most fascinating times in MLB trade deadline history. And it’s all because of one player. That player, of course, is Shohei Ohtani, the Los Angeles Angels pitching and hitting phenomenon. What’s been said about Ohtani to this point is nothing new, as everything has just become repetitive, copy and pasted […]

The Atlanta Braves have made a couple of moves just several days before the August 1 MLB trade deadline. After trading for right-hander Pierce Johnson from the Colorado Rockies via a trade that sent pitching prospects Victor Vodnik and Tanner Gordon to the National League West club, the Braves struck a trade with the Texas […]

Complacency is a contender’s worst enemy. The Atlanta Braves might be leading the National League right now by a wide margin, but that doesn’t mean they get to sit on their laurels. Their bullpen is usually solid despite the many injuries, but you never know when you might need to adjust due to an injury. […]

The Atlanta Braves are adding reinforcements to their stacked roster, calling up Daysbel Hernandez to make his MLB debut for their depleted bullpen. Hernandez has been in the minors since 2018, and after missing the 2022 season due to injury, he is sporting an incredible 44% strikeout rate in 16 scoreless innings between Double-A and […]

It would be hard to ask for a better debut for Milwaukee Brewers top prospect Sal Frelick. Frelick made his highly-anticipated debut in the MLB on Saturday night against the best team in baseball, the Atlanta Braves. The 6th inning was when Frelick stole the show. Sal Frelick went for the leaping catch at the […]

The Atlanta Braves are tallying up the home runs in the second half of the season, especially behind Austin Riley’s four game streak with a home run. Riley’s streak is notable because he’s now one game short of the Braves record of five straight games with a home run. Nine Braves have tied for this […]

For much of the 2023 MLB season, the Atlanta Braves have been pacing the league. But once they returned from the All-Star break, they endured their worst stretch of baseball of the season, losing four of their first five games after the break. Atlanta quickly snapped out of it by winning their past two games, […]

Atlanta Braves’ ace Max Fried took another step towards returning to the Braves’ roster in a Triple-A rehab start Tuesday night. Fried has been sidelined with a forearm strain since May and hopes to join the Braves next week. Fried wasn’t quite up to his usual standard during the rehab start. In 3.1 innings, the […]

Let’s get down to business and take a look at our MLB odds series where our Braves-Brewers prediction and pick will be revealed for all to see. By and far the best team in baseball up to […]

To paraphrase philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, it’s about the journey not the destination. If that is the case in the 2023 MLB season, then we are in for the most thrilling trade deadline of all-time. The hype and non-stop speculation surrounding Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani is bound to have everyone amped up by the […]

Admittedly, we get a little caught up in strikeouts in the modern game of baseball. ERA can sometimes be minimized in favor of whiff rate and velocity, as it is far too easy to undervalue ground ball pitchers who put zeros on the scoreboard. It is difficult, however, not to get swept up in the […]
