The Braves’ offense has found its balance

Of course the Braves destroy left-handed pitching. They have a roster stacked full of powerful right-handed bats. From Ronald Acuña Jr, to RH Ozzie Albies, to Austin Riley, to Sean Murphy, to Marcell Ozuna, to Travis d’Arnaud, to Orlando Arcia and more. The Braves lead the majors with a 140 wRC+ against left-handed pitching this season, which of course is a ridiculous amount of production. They’re first in average, OPS, and SLG%, and second in OBP. If you throw a left-handed starter against this team, may God have mercy on your soul.

The problem, at least for most of the season, was the offense wasn’t finding that same level of success against right-handed pitching.
