Why the Engine Rates Atlanta This Way

8th Day Engine · Rating rationale

The 8th Day Engine ranks Atlanta in the upper third of MLB because the club owns a positive run differential (+116), limited speed and a below-average offence. Excellent defence is the department doing most of the lifting. Their staff ERA of 3.63 ranks 5th in MLB, and they score 4.58 runs per game (9th).

On the 8th Day Engine's league-wide percentile ratings, their strongest department is defense (Elite) and their weakest is speed (Below par). Those grades are measured against the other 29 clubs and move as the season does. Every Braves prediction on CleverScores is published before first pitch and graded afterwards in public, wins and misses alike.
