Atlanta Braves: Diving into the first half stats, looking for ways to improve

It was not a great start to the 2019 season for the Atlanta Braves as they hovered around .500 for the first two months of the season and entered June 30-27 and three games back of the then division-leading Philadelphia Phillies.

But 20 wins in the month of June really turned the season around.

However, we all know the real change took place on May 10 when Ronald Acuna Jr. was moved back to the leadoff spot. And sometimes a forgotten part of that move was putting Dansby Swanson in the two-hole.
