The All-Star Break looms only one day away.
Teams are assessing their standing for the second half and eagerly awaiting their opportunity for redemption (or, for some teams, more of the same) in the second half.
One team that is probably having difficulties doing the former is the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves are sitting at a decent 43-44, only (used in context here) five games back of the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Braves have gotten what they paid for with their off-season money: very consistent starting pitching.
They have also, however, gotten what they didn't pay for, as they have fielded one of the most inconsistent offenses in the league.
In this article, I will asses the three major facets of the team (pitching, relief pitching, and hitting) and give my predictions/expectations for the second half of the season.
We're going to send you the most entertaining Atlanta Braves articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
