No decision, no problem for Logan Verrett. He got a spot start last week and earned a quality start. This week, Verrett gets a juicy home start against the Atlanta Braves.

FanGraphs’ offensive WAR stat has the Braves in a tie as the second worst in baseball. Atlanta averages 3.43 runs per road game, the lowest average in the Majors.

Their .356 road slugging percentage is the lowest by 17 points, and their .665 on-base plus slugging (OPS) is the third worst away from home. Not to throw salt in Atlanta’s power hitting wounds, but the Braves average 56.2 at-bats per home run and have mustered 169 extra base hits on the road, by far the worst baseball.
