Braves Slugger Is Primed to Break Out of Slump

The Atlanta Braves have one of the deepest lineups in baseball.

Despite slow starts from the top of their lineup, including reigning National League MVP Ronald Acuña Jr, MLB homer leader Matt Olson and slugger Austin Riley, Atlanta’s sitting on the best winning percentage and most runs per game of any team in baseball. The Braves are getting great contributions from other everyday starters like designated hitter Marcell Ozuna (MLB-best 31 RBIs and NL-best 9 HRs), shortstop Orlando Arcia (team-best nine doubles), and centerfielder Michael Harris II (five stolen bases, team-best 34 hits), as well as catcher Travis d'Arnaud, who has hit five homers in his last six starts.
