We are heading into the final week of the 2020 regular season. Seven teams already clinched the playoffs. They are Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. In the final week, we are going to see several teams fight for their spots in the postseason. In particular, the National League playoff race could be really wild.
There is one team, which is really hot in September.Atlanta Braves’ OPS is over .900, the only team that has an over .900 OPS in September. San Francisco Giants have an OPS of .867, second in the league. New York Yankees post a .831 OPS, leading the AL.
The Braves already scored more than 130 runs in September. On average, the Braves can score at least 7 runs per game this September. The Yankees scored 120 runs so far in September, the second most in the majors.
The Braves already have crushed more than 40 home runs this month. It’s the only team that has more than 40 home runs so far this month. Bronx Bombers have 38 home runs, leading in the AL.
The Braves have collected 132 RBI so far in September, the only team that has more than 130 RBI so far this month. The Yankees have 117 RBI in September.
Among the Braves, which hitter is the hottest hitter?
Take a look at OPS in September. There are three Braves players in the top 5. Freddie Freeman is leading the majors with a 1.278 OPS. Marcell Ozuna signed a one-year contract with the Braves and it seems like a pretty good deal. Ozuna is currently hitting .317/.406/.599. His OPS was .851 in August. In September, Ozuna’s OPS is over 1.000. There is no doubt about Acuna’s potential and he will be one of the most dangerous hitters in the majors. Acuna had a really hot August. His OPS was 1.244 in August, he seems to cool down this month since his batting average is only .250 in September. Nevertheless, Acuna’s OPS is still over 1.000 in September.
Adam Duvall crushed 11 home runs so far in September, leading the majors. That really tells how hot he is. Meanwhile. Ronald Acuna had 8 homers and Marcell Ozuna had 7 home runs so far. The Braves really hit a lot of long balls in September. Freddie Freeman crushed 6 homers so far.
Freddie Freeman and Marcell Ozuna are in the top 2 in RBI in September. Adam Duvall and Ronald Acuna are also in the top 10. The Braves truly hit a lot of runs in September.
The Atlanta Braves are trying to win the division title in three consecutive seasons and they are leading in the NL East. Freedie Freeman currently has a very good September and is one of the favorites in the NL MVP race. Meanwhile, Adam Duvall keeps crushing home runs in September. Marcell Ozuna is a two-time All-Star and he finished the 2017 season with a career high .924 OPS. He will probably set a new career high this season. We definitely won’t ignore Ronald Acuna Jr., one of the most talented young players. With Ozzie Albies back to the lineup, the Braves lineup will be a very dangerous lineup in October baseball.
