With a strong start to the season, the Atlanta Braves were in a great position for another deep playoff run to capture the franchise’s second World Series in the last four seasons.
However, the injury bug hit Atlanta in a big way on Sunday afternoon when former MVP and four-time All-Star Ronald Acuna Jr. suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Sunday’s 8-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
The Braves are now third on the odds board at +340 to win the National League, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Here are three picks to win the pennant with Acuna sidelined for the year.
