More than one-third of the 2019 MLB season is in the books and, for the Atlanta Braves, the early returns are relatively strong. Brian Snitker’s team sits with a ??-?? record as June nears and, with Memorial Day in the rear view mirror, the Braves are in solid position through the lens of the National League playoff race.
With that in mind, it’s time to examine what five major statistical projection systems have to say about the Braves and how they forecast Atlanta in terms of the team’s chances to make the playoffs.
Even with a loss on Tuesday, the Braves are 12-5 in their last 17 games and that allows Atlanta to vault into “likely playoff team” status according to every metric.
