The Atlanta Braves looked like they were off and running away from the pack early on, as they jumped out to a 12-1 start. But, they were just swept in San Diego, and since their blazing start, the Bravos have been a pedestrian one game over .500. The Braves have had issues driving in runners in scoring position, residing second to last in the league with a poor .228 average. Madison Bumgarner has a 3.58 ERA on the season, and while Kris Medlen was a near invincible 10-1 a year ago with a 1.67 ERA, things have been much different this year as he is pitching well with a 2.88 ERA, but is just 3-6. That is a product of the Braves' inability to drive in runs. The Braves are now just 1-4 in Medlen's last five starts vs. a winning team. Take the road team here.
