Atlanta Braves' record 14-game win streak: By The Numbers
The Atlanta Braves are the best team in baseball right now.
And while a few other big-league squads might believe they have a better roster, no team is playing better baseball across the Show.
Atlanta is in the midst of a 14-game win streak, having swept four straight series against Colorado, Oakland, Pittsburgh and Washington.
The Braves' numbers through their stretch are truly astounding. Let's take a look.
0: The Braves have not lost in the month of June, riding a 14-game win streak.
14: The Braves' 14-game win streak is the longest win streak by any defending champion in the expansion era (since 1961).
