As we know, the Braves lead all of MLB in home runs.

It’s not even close.

The Braves have hit 188 home runs this season, the latest was Ozzie Albies’ three-run homer in Wednesday’s 5-3 loss at the Red Sox. The next closest team is the Dodgers with 166. That’s right, 22 fewer than the Braves. For a laugh, we looked up the Mets. They rank 11th in baseball with 126 home runs. That’s right, 62 fewer than the Braves.

Here is the breakdown of Braves home runs:

96 - Solo

67 - Two-run

21 - Three-run

4 - Grand slam
