After starting the season by winning two out of three games against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Atlanta Braves jumped four spots on Bleacher Report’s MLB Power Ranking.
Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter listed the Braves at the No. 18 spot on his ranking and also named them a team that impressed during opening weekend along with the Miami Marlins, Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers and Washington Nationals.
"The Atlanta Braves immediately jump out as one team that impressed relative to expectations during the abridged first week of the season," Reuter wrote. "Thanks in large part to a 15-2 victory on Saturday, they lead all of baseball with a plus-15 run differential."
The Braves begin a three-game home series against the Washington Nationals Monday at 7:35 p.m.
