Atlanta Braves: Does Ronald Acuna Jr. have a chance to sneak into NL MVP race?

Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich got off to unbelievable stars in 2019 and have really just continued to excel. But a couple of Atlanta Braves players could enter their name into the competition.

Ronald Acuna Jr. has really taken off after the All-Start break, not that he was exactly struggling before.

He’s now pacing to be the first 30-30 player for the Atlanta Braves in 28 years. And 40-40 is not exactly out of the question, which would be the first in baseball since 2006.

And while Freddie Freeman isn’t as flashy as the other candidates, you could make a case for him to be in the MVP discussion as well.
