CINCINNATI â In spite of all that went awry in the first 12 weeks of their season, when the Braves left New York late Wednesday, they were five games behind the NL East-leading Mets, with whom they had just split a four-game series at Citi Field.
A five-game deficit obviously wasnât what they had in mind when the season began, nor was being three games under .500 entering Thursdayâs series opener at Cincinnati, barely a week before the halfway point.
This is a Braves team that won the past three division titles; finished with records of 90-72 in 2018 and 97-65 in 2019 in the past two full seasons; swept two postseason series in October and came within one win of beating the Dodgers in the NLCS; and entered this season as a heavy favorite for another division title and picked by some pundits to dethrone the World Series champion Dodgers and win the NL pennant.
