Braves Maintain Top Spot in MLB Power Rankings

Welcoming in the Miami Marlins and Cleveland Guardians to Truist Park, Atlanta swept the divisional rival Marlins before proving that their hot start was legit by taking two out of three from Cleveland, who entered the series with the most wins in baseball with 18.

That strong performance un the win column, combined with some dominant performances on the mound, has Atlanta still on top of most power rankings on Monday morning. “For all the good vibes going on with the Braves right now, it’s worth noting that Austin Riley, like fellow All-Star Ronald Acuña Jr., hasn’t been off to the most blistering start. He’s only hitting .234 with an alarmingly low two homers for a guy with consistent pure power. Sunday might be the game that gets him going, though.

It’s not just the offense that excelled last week, though - Bleacher Report writer Joel Reuter singled out the pitching staff, specifically the starters, when explaining why he also put Atlanta in the #1 spot “With a 12-3 record over their last 15 games and a plus-47 run differential that leads the majors, the Braves remain baseball's No. 1 team. The new-look starting rotation ranks 10th in the majors with a 3.72 ERA thanks to strong starts from Reynaldo López and Chris Sale , and they will be tasked with helping to ease the loss of Spencer Strider.”

The Braves finished the six games with a combined 0.86 ERA from their starters, allowing four earned runs in forty-two innings. Despite some rough starts from Max Fried and Spencer Strider, Atlanta’s season rotation ERA of 3.72 is still the fourth-lowest mark in the National League, behind just Philadelphia , Pittsburgh , and Los Angeles .
