After going 12-14 in April, the Braves followed that up with a 13-12 May. 13-12 is considerably better than 12-14, but it was far from a satisfying month? Why? In brief: the Braves entered May with playoff odds of nearly 45 percent, a substantial decline from where they started the season (64 percent), but still something to feel reasonably good about. They will enter June with those nearly halved, now at just 24 percent. The reality is that the Braves spent May pretty much treading water, while a bunch of other teams won a bunch of games. As a result, the Braves will need to actually do that thing we were all expecting them to do before the season started: actually win a bunch of games, too.
Braves mostly tread water in May
