Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves have been incredible with their overall performance last season and they were top-notch with their playing. The Braves will try to get back with Ronald Acuna Jr on their squad once again. Acuna missed several games last season, but he is expected to come back with a bang. Atlanta will need to get some control from the pitching end, especially against some of their stronger opponents. On the other hand, they will need to make up for their players who moved out.
