The Atlanta Braves are out to one of the best starts in Major League Baseball. Their 18-9 record has them three games ahead of the New York Mets and Miami Marlins in the AL East and 3.5 in front of the Philadelphia Phillies. Their success isn’t a surprise, nor is it surprising that the Braves strong start is coming on the back of leadoff hitter Ronald Acuna Jr. Although Acuna hasn’t hit for prodigious power, his .354 batting average and blazing speed are making him the current frontrunner on the National League MVP odds board.
