Nick Markakis an unsung hero of the Braves’ red-hot start

We have reached the end of April, and the Braves have scored more runs than any National League team. The lineup tops the NL in batting average (.268), on-base percentage (.342), slugging percentage (.440), wRC+ (113) and position player WAR.

Just like we all predicted a month ago, right?

Ozzie Albies deserves to be the NL Player of the Month. Ronald Acuña looks like a star in the making. Freddie Freeman continues to hit at an incredible level. Kurt Suzuki (somehow) keeps on hitting. The third base combo of Ryan Flaherty and Johan Camargo has been terrific.
