Can the Braves wrest the worst-in-one-run-games mantle from the White Sox?
Briefly

The Braves currently hold an 11-23 record in one-run games, placing them ahead of the White Sox, who are at 7-21. It would take ten additional losses for the Braves to match the White Sox's .250 winning percentage. Past MLB seasons show that poor performance in one-run games has become more prevalent recently, with the Braves' worst one-run game record occurring in 2008 at 11-30. A notable historical point is the 2003 Braves, who, despite a 17-25 record in one-run games, won 101 games overall.
