The Braves season in numbers
- Record
- 94-68
- Division
- 1 of 5
- Run diff.
- +116
- Expected wins
- 93
- Home
- 52-29
- Road
- 42-39
The Atlanta Braves put 742 runs on the board and gave up 626, a run differential of +116. That works out to 4.58 runs scored and 3.86 allowed per game, against a league average of 4.48 for each side. Based on those runs, a typical team would have won about 93 games, so the Braves finished 1 win above that mark. That is close enough to say the Braves record reflects how well they actually played.
Split by venue, the Braves posted 52-29 at home and 42-39 on the road. That home edge is wider than most, so the ballpark matters more than usual when the Braves are priced at home. Against left-handed starters they were 33-25, against right-handers 61-43, and they closed the regular season 5-5 over the last ten games, losing the final game.
Recent form: the last 10 games
In their last 10 regular-season games the Braves went 5-5, scoring 4 and allowing 3.9 runs per game. 4 of those 10 games finished above 9 total runs, 2 were decided by a single run, and the widest margin was 8-3 away at MIA. The chart plots each of those Braves games, runs scored above the line and runs allowed below it.

The Braves in the first inning
50.9% of Braves games ended the first inning scoreless, compared with 49.4% across the league. The Braves scored in the first inning 30.7% of the time and allowed a first-inning run in 28.8% of games. That is close to the league norm. The NRFI Lab puts the Braves next to every other team and starter on the same split.
How to read the Braves numbers
For anyone pricing a Braves game: the run differential and expected wins say more about team quality than the raw record, the home and road split shows how much Truist Park helps, and the last-ten totals show whether recent Braves games have run high or low. For Braves totals, the over/under guide explains the market step by step, and the odds calculator turns any price into an implied probability. None of these Braves figures predicts a single game, and no bet is ever a sure thing.
Truist Park, home of the Braves
The Atlanta Braves play their home games at Truist Park in Atlanta, GA, at an elevation of 1,001 feet. Games there averaged 8.68 total runs, an index of 0.97 against the league average, close to neutral. At Truist Park, wind direction and temperature change how far the ball carries, so the game-day forecast matters. The ballpark scoring page ranks all 30 parks.
