After Wednesday’s victory over the Cubs, the Atlanta Braves had amassed 48 wins to 33 losses, the team’s best half-season mark since the 2010 campaign. (You have to go back to the 101-win 2003 team to find a better half-season mark.) The production by component, however, has been anything but even, however:
- Offensive value — fourth in MLB (excluding pitchers);
- Defensive value — 14th to 25th in MLB, depending on the metric used;
- Starting rotation value — 20th in MLB (or 18th by RA9-WAR); and
- Bullpen value — 22nd in MLB (or 15th by RA9-WAR).
