To say that the Atlanta Braves are a good offensive team grossly understates what the Braves have been able to accomplish during the 2023 season. They lead all of baseball with 29.6 fWAR from position players which is nearly 2 fWAR better than the second place Rangers. Their team wRC+ is 124 which is five points better than second place. Their 715 runs scored is tops in the league and the Braves' +212 run differential leads the league by a wide margin.

Just to put things in perspective (and switching over to Baseball-Reference's WAR calculation), the 2023 Atlanta Braves' production from their offense through 123 games would be the 13th best mark in franchise history for a season. That is absurd. However, that does make one wonder what were the best offenses in Braves history and that requires a little more digging.

For this exercise, Baseball-Reference is going to be the WAR measure of choice mainly because it is the easiest database to search. WAR is not a perfect metric as it doesn't always compare well across eras, but it is probably the best option available and is certainly better and more complete than just ranking teams by runs scored.

Anyways, enough of the rules. Let's look at the 5 best Braves offenses in franchise history while remembering that this 2023 squad has nearly 40 games to pass all of them.
