The Atlanta Braves

Every metric supports it. Currently, the Braves lead MLB in barrels… the Mets are 17th. Braves are 3rd in EV… the Mets are 19th?!
It was insane.
One hit was a grounder through the hole on the shift. One was a 42 hopper you couldn't have rolled any better between ss and 3b and then a bloop behind second that you couldn't have walked out and dropped in a better spot.
Meanwhile the Philles are about to leave 5 runners on in the last 2 innings after having 2 on with no outs

I will say, it’s luck, but it’s also a little bit of their philosophy. They don’t swing and miss a lot, so they’re going to have more soft hits. But their bloops and infield hits are crazy.

I'll give Canha credit for beating the shift but the other 2 are just plain luck. The ball is an inch left or right or hangs up another half second and those are outs.
