MELTDOWN: Atlanta Braves SQUANDER Golden Opportunity in May

Atlanta's disappointing 13-14 May record raises concerns despite strong pitching. Jake Mastroianni analyzes the Braves' offensive woes, including a 5-9 record in one-run games and subpar performances against top NL teams. Ronald Acuña Jr.'s return couldn't spark the lineup, while Matt Olson and Austin Riley underperformed in crucial situations. The pitching staff, led by Chris Sale and Spencer Schwellenbach, ranked 4th in ERA but received little run support. With a critical June ahead, Atlanta needs a 16-10 record to stay competitive. Can the Braves capitalize on matchups against struggling teams and reignite their offense? Tune in for an in-depth breakdown of Atlanta's path forward and the keys to salvaging their season.
