Sports Illustrated gives National League, Braves midseason grade
Dansby Swanson celebrates with Atlanta Braves teammates after a 4-3 win against the Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum on July 1, 2017, in Oakland.
Baseball is back in session after the All-Star break, and according to Sports Illustrated, the Braves’ first half of the season was worth a ‘B’.
Sports Illustrated graded each team in the National League at midseason. The Dodgers were the only team to get an 'A+', while the Nationals Brewers, Diamondbacks, and Rockies all received an 'A'.
SI can not say the some for the rest of the class. According to this report card, the Phillies, the defending World Series Champions Chicago Cubs, and Giants are failing.
The Braves play tonight at 7:35 p.m. against the Diamondbacks.
