Atlanta Braves Struggle Early with 1-8 Record

The Atlanta Braves are facing a challenging start to the 2025 MLB season, currently struggling with an 0-7 record and already six games behind in their division. FanGraphs has significantly reduced their playoff odds, projecting them as likely to finish third in the NL East, raising concerns about their World Series aspirations. The team's offense has been particularly disappointing, with a league-worst wRC+ and experiencing multiple shutouts early in the season. Despite some hope from potential returning players like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Spencer Strider, their absence is felt as the Braves seek to turn things around. Meanwhile, the decision to let go of veteran pitcher Charlie Morton appears to be justified as he struggles with his new team, the Orioles. The Braves are looking for answers and need to capitalize on any upcoming games to regain momentum.
