Spencer Strider had another solid outing in Braves 8th straight victory.
For the first time since 1982, the Braves have won 8 straight games while also scoring 5+ runs each game. It seems for the first time in more than a year, every aspect of the Braves team is excelling at the right time. Yes, it may not be the most opportune time for next year’s draft odds, but it is fun to see the team end a difficult 2025 season on a positive note.
While several Braves are playing great baseball at the moment, few, if any, are more significant to see playing well than Spencer Strider. He has allowed 3 or less earned runs in 5 straight starts, and for the first time in June, he has earned back to back wins over his last two starts. While Strider still is a ways away from the level of starter he was before his injury, he seems to be figuring out how to find success while also remaining healthy for the off-season ahead.
