Takeways from the Braves' series loss in St. Louis
Briefly

As has been the case here and there, the Braves hitting the ball better than their opposition simply didn't matter... the Braves outhit the Cardinals inputs-wise again, they still lost.
For the series as a whole, the Braves had a .343 xwOBA... and a 269 wOBA. The Cardinals had a .272 xwOBA... and a .273 wOBA. Same as it ever was.
The lineup is simply too depleted to be at the whims of stuff like wind, drag, and so on for a sustained run of excellence... the Braves might need to figure out how to barrel more than five balls in three games to give themselves more chances.
