The Braves’ 12-8 record is hard-earned, and particularly impressive when you consider the quality of the teams against against which they have attained it. The only team the Braves have played in 2018 which currently has a losing record is the Washington Nationals. Even the most grizzled fans have to be pleased after watching this Braves team successfully navigate their recent gauntlet and getting off to their best start in years.
The rigorous schedule will finally grant the Braves a reprieve, as they head into Cincinnati to play a Reds team whose 3-18 record is the worst in baseball.
