The April slate of games should have allowed the Atlanta Braves a chance to get ahead in the East. May is looking tougher.
The Atlanta Braves have been trying to get their groove back this week against the Cubs, but extended consistency has been difficult to muster for this club as the first month draws to a close.
To that end, the month of May is going to provide its own challenges, and the surprise is that some of these opponents have been playing a lot better than expected thus far.
