The Atlanta Braves have been one of the best teams in the MLB in the last few weeks, and fans are raving. Their huge series wins against the Houston Astros and New York Mets even set a new franchise record. While the record may be slightly obscured and convoluted, the wins over the Astros and Mets were very impressive.

It marked the first time in franchise history that the team won consecutive series against different teams that were at least 30 games over .500 at the time. The Atlanta Braves announced the historic statistic on Twitter.

It was a very impressive mark for a team that started the year slowly. As the defending World Series champions, they often get the best shot any team can give. Winning back-to-back series against two of the top teams in the MLB is no small feat, and their fans know it. The Braves might not be leading their division, but their fans' expectations are growing to new heights.

A common critiscm of this Braves team is their inability to beat good teams. This is an argument that has never really had much weight behind it. This record really shuts down that particular discussion from happening again this season.

This Braves team are just as talented, if not moreso, than their 2021 World Series team. With an explosive offense and tremendous pitching staff, the Braves are one of the most dangerous teams in baseball. Come October, they could be the hottest team in the league.

Being the team that nobody wants to face in the postseason is the perfect spot to be in. Capable of beating any National League team, the Braves could easily be heartbreakers in October. If the Braves can play in October the same way they have played in these past seven games, it is hard to imagine any team getting past them.
