BRAVES NEWS
According to the PECOTA projections, courtesy of Baseball Prospectus, the Braves will win 76 games this year and finish in fourth place in the NL East. The projection system also accounts for individual performance, and there are certainly some interesting cases for the Braves.
Individually, Freddie Freeman is unsurprisingly projected as the Braves’ top performer even if the power totals are a bit underwhelming at .293/.384/.508 with 25 home runs. He is projected to be worth 3.2 WARP which is the Baseball Prospectus version of Wins Above Replacement.
