The Braves are struggling with their playoff chances, currently 7.5 games out of a Wild Card spot and performing like a 73-win team. To remain competitive, they need to elevate their performance significantly. Key players like Ozuna and Iglesias are underperforming but may still have some trade value. While Ozuna's actual performance is low, his expected slugging percentage suggests potential improvement. Iglesias is facing a decline in velocity and strikeout rate, which affects his play. Overall, the team's situation is reminiscent of their 2021 season when they made a surprising playoff push.
The Braves are 7.5 games out in the Wild Card and have played like a 73-win team. To have a shot at the playoffs, they'd need to play more like a 100-win team.
Ozuna, 34, has experienced a power outage this year. However, his expected slugging percentage is .487 versus his actual .392 mark, and I assume he'll be fine.
Raisel Iglesias is 35 and making the same money as Ozuna. His velocity and strikeout rate are slipping, influencing his effectiveness.
