The chop has flopped

Before Tuesday night's offensive outburst, the Braves had scored the fewest runs (61) of any MLB team in June, with the league's lowest OPS (.634) and the second-fewest home runs (17). Their wRC+ for the month stood at 76. Using FanGraphs, I pulled the team's June wRC+ in every season since 2019 (there were no June games in 2020): 150 in 2023, then 91 in 2024 and 88 in 2025, with this year the lowest of the stretch.
