The Atlanta Braves have been a perennial world series contender for the last several seasons and a lot of that success has come from their prolific offense this season.

Their offense has been far from prolific Ronald La Cunha junior Matt Olson Austin Riley Michael Harris the second and Ozzie Albes each have an ops below 800 if not for the red hot start to the season by Marcelo Zuna Atlanta's offense might be in a much worse position than it is.

As the calendar turns to June, the Braves are gonna need their offense to start to come through and take some of the pressure off their starting pitching that has been electric in the first half.

If they do, they should be able to keep pace with the Phillies despite them looking like a well oiled machine and make it a fun fight to the finish in the NL East.
