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.
