The Atlanta Braves are set to host the Oakland Athletics at Truist Park on June 2, 2024, at 5:35 PM. Based on recent performances, the Braves appear well-positioned to secure a victory against the Athletics.

In their last game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 26, the Braves showcased a robust offensive and defensive performance. The team racked up an impressive 14 hits and scored eight runs while committing zero errors. Their batting average stood at .378 with an OPS of 1.081, indicating their ability to get on base and hit for power effectively. Key contributors included five doubles and two home runs, highlighting their extra-base hitting prowess.

The pitching staff also delivered a stellar performance in that game. The starters allowed only one earned run over seven innings with an ERA of just 1.286 while striking out eight batters. The bullpen was equally effective, giving up no runs over two innings with four strikeouts and maintaining a WHIP of just one.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for ATL in previous games against PIT earlier in May where they faced some challenges. On May 25th, despite scoring five runs off seven hits including three extra-base hits (one home run), they conceded eleven runs due to shaky pitching which saw them give away six earned runs from their bullpen alone.

On another occasion on May 24th against PIT again; ATL managed only one run off nine hits but struggled defensively committing one error leading them into losing by four points margin (4-1). This inconsistency could be attributed partly towards fielding errors as well as less effective pitching during those matches compared later ones where improvements were evident both offensively & defensively alike!
