August has now hit on the calendar for the Atlanta Braves and could be an interesting month, possibly the most interesting month they will have in 2016.
The Braves have three off days throughout the month and have an even amount of home and road games, both totaling fourteen games. So how will the Braves fare?
The Braves start the month with an off day before welcoming the Pittsburgh Pirates to Turner Field for three games. The Pirates will likely be in a pennant race by this point in the season, but the Braves should take one, starting the month 1-2.
