This offensive firepower is anchored by the reigning National League MVP, Ronald Acuña Jr., and bolstered by multiple MVP candidates like Matt Olson and Austin Riley. The depth and talent within their offense position the Braves as a serious contender for the best record in baseball.
While the Dodgers have made significant investments, including acquiring Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, spending a staggering sum, there are concerns about the durability of key players.
