The Atlanta Braves are off to a tough start this season, sitting at 1-8. That said, they began the year by facing two of the best teams in the National League, the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers on the road.
They also had to deal with Jurickson Profar's suspension and Reynaldo Lopez's injury along the way. Obviously, it's not an ideal start.
Still, the Braves will see the returns of Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. before long. Atlanta is still projected for the third-most wins in baseball, behind the Dodgers (98) and the Philadelphia Phillies (91), with 89 of their own.
