On Braves Today, Lindsay Crosby breaks down the difference between clutch hitting (high-leverage plate appearances) and simply hitting with runners in scoring position, grouping Braves hitters by performance—highlighting Mauricio Dubón as elite in both, noting “RISP merchant” splits like Austin Riley, and spotlighting clutch-only standouts like Matt Olson. The episode also examines why the Phillies’ surge under Don Mattingly hasn’t cut deeply into Atlanta’s division lead, citing run differential, one-run game results, and a difficult remaining schedule, then previews the Braves’ series vs an improved, injury-hit White Sox team with likely pitching matchups and key Chicago bats.

The Braves swept the Pirates to finish their homestand and reinforced their status as one of baseball’s best teams. Key takeaways include improved performance in high-leverage moments, highlighted by Michael Harris’ pinch-hit, bases-loaded three-run double on Sunday and Mauricio Dubón’s standout leverage numbers. Despite solid results from Martín Pérez, Spencer Strider, and Bryce Elder, the process raises concerns about postseason rotation sustainability and the need for a frontline starter, with Jacob deGrom discussed as a target. The bullpen’s depth stood out, as Didier Fuentes earned his first career save in a short-handed spot. Atlanta heads to Chicago to face the White Sox next.
