Atlanta Braves 2021 schedule: better to wrap things up early
The Summer of our Content
JUNE. The homestand with the Nats ends on the 3rd and then the Dodgers come to town for 3.
Of note, there hasn’t been any travel West of the Mississippi River so far. That continues through July, but that bill will need to be paid eventually.
The rest of June goes like this:
- At the Phillies (of course)
- At the Marlins
- Home vs. the Red Sox and Cardinals
- Road games against the Mets and Reds
- Home with the Mets… a series that extends to July 1st
JULY. The Braves finish up with the Mets and then host the Marlins, so the 4th of July (a Sunday) will be at home this year.
After that, trips to Pittsburgh and Miami complete the games prior to the All-Star Break.. which, of course, will be celebrated at home this year (July 13).
After the break, Atlanta stays home to face the Rays and the Padres… a couple of tests. Then they hit the road to Philadelphia (aren’t we done with them yet?) and the Mets before finishing the month at home vs. Milwaukee – through August 1st.
AUGUST. Now things start getting a bit uglier for travel.
On August 3rd, there’s a 3 game road trip to St. Louis, followed by home games against the Nats and Reds.
Then it’s a long road trip against the Nats, Marlins, and Orioles with one day off in the middle. It would have been nice to swap the Baltimore and Miami flights, but that didn’t happen.
After 2 games with the Yankees at Truist Park, there’s a very rare two days off at home on August 25th and 26th before the Giants come to town.
To this point in the schedule, the games are fairly balanced… nothing too taxing or too difficult. That’s about to change.
Now the West Coast games begin… starting on August 30-31 with a trip to see the Dodgers.
