The Braves (48-28) head west for a three-game series with the Padres (39-37). Atlanta enters losers in three of the last four series, whereas San Diego has lost six of the past eight series.
Atlanta is 8-8 in June, which is a surprise to most people. The Braves rank 13rd in ERA (4.32), 22nd in OBA (.266), and hitting .226 themselves (25th). Atlanta is tied for the fewest runs scored this month (61) with the second-fewest homers (17). It’s safe to say this team is in a slump, but maybe they’re inching out toward the other side after a series win over Milwaukee.
San Diego is 7-11 in June and struggling offensively. The Padres are hitting .225 (26th) with 69 runs in 19 games (24th) and the third-fewest home runs (18). On a good note, the Padres’ pitching rotation ranks fourth in ERA (3.84) despite being fifth-worst in OBA (.271).
