Can it be "baseball lab" time now?
Briefly

The Braves are facing a difficult season, dropping from a 50 percent chance of making the playoffs on June 2 to just six percent by July 7. This decline reflects deeper issues, including significant injuries and underperformance, despite the team's strong metrics in offensive and defensive categories. They rank tenth in xwOBA and 12th in xwOBA-against, displaying potential for improvement. With a realistic chance of adding talent at the Trade Deadline, there remains some hope for a turnaround, although an epic winning streak seems improbable given the current challenges.
