For the Braves, it's pretty simple: good pitching and bad hitting. Well, that and bad health. ... You might say Atlanta's 4.47 runs/game isn't terrible, but consider that the Braves have scored 255 runs with a .712 team OPS while allowing 215 runs on an opposing OPS of .727. Something tells me that if they continue to allow a higher OPS than they produce themselves, they won't keep outscoring teams by 0.70 runs per game.
