BRAVES' SEASON SLIP SLIDING AWAY

The Atlanta Braves have struggled through the 2025 season with bullpen failures and multiple late-game losses through early June.
These issues stem from an offseason decision by GM Alex Anthopoulos not to strengthen the relief corps despite clear bullpen weaknesses.
The Braves’ bullpen ranks 17th in ERA and 26th in fWAR , suffering blown saves including a six-run ninth-inning collapse versus the Diamondbacks on June 5.
Atlanta has 12 blown saves and holds a 9-19 record in one-run games while trailing the Mets by 14 games and sitting below.500 at 10 games under.
The bullpen’s struggles have cast doubt on the Braves’ playoff chances, though some optimism remains as key players return and the team needs only modest improvement to rebound.

Atlanta Braves’ season is starting to slip away after another 7-game losing streak

By NOAH TRISTER One seven-game losing streak was manageable for Atlanta — a possible fluke at the start of the season. But now the Braves have dropped seven in a row again, and it’s time to wonder if this will simply be a lost season for one of the game’s star-studded teams. The 4-3 defeat June 8 at San Francisco dropped Atlanta to 10 games under .500 and 9 1/2 games behind the National League’s final playoff spot. The Braves haven’t missed the …
