MLB Playoffs Preview: Braves are in prime position for a repeat
The Braves are the reigning champions. They are currently 101-61 and need to win all their games to take the NL East crown and a first-round bye. Ronald Acuña Jr. is active for this year's playoffs, but Ozzie Albies remains a long-shot to begin the playoffs on the active roster.
The Braves are in prime position for a repeat. Top hitter is Dansby Swanson (6.3 fWAR).
The Braves are in prime position for a repeat. William Contreras, Vaughn Grissom, and rookie of the year candidate Michael Harris II produced 7.9 fWAR over 252 games. The team's recipe for success revolves around slugging. Max Fried is the most underrated ace in baseball. They are the worst team in BB/K ratio among the postseason squads. They ranked 25th in the entire sport. Their team is better than the Astros, Yankees, or Dodgers. Spencer Strider joined the rotation mid-season and posted a 4. 9 f WAR in 131 innings.
