Braves Stuck in Historic 0-7 Start, Postseason Hopes Fading

The Atlanta Braves have started the 2025 MLB season with a disastrous 0-7 record, marking the only winless start in the league. Their playoff hopes are severely threatened, as no team has ever reached the postseason after such a start. Key players, including 2023 MVP Ronald Acuña Jr. and pitcher Spencer Strider, are currently sidelined due to injuries, while the team also faces a suspension of Jurickson Profar for performance-enhancing drug use. The Braves' offensive struggles are notable, ranking last in the league with a team OPS of .485 and having scored only 14 runs. Despite the bleak outlook, upcoming games against the struggling Marlins provide a crucial opportunity for the Braves to turn their season around. Historical data suggests that recovery is possible, but immediate improvements are necessary to avoid a historically poor season.
