You can take the Braves seriously if they show out in New York

The Midday Show with Andy & Randy

You won't find too many series in the month of June that will make or break an MLB season. BUT... after an entire month of "scuffling" at the plate, the Atlanta Braves now have a series that can let their fans, and other teams in the division that they are back and mean business. At this point in the season, the New York Yankees not only have the best record in Major League Baseball, but they are second in the league in home runs hit with 113, and second in the league in runs scored with 389. What's not so great about those statistics though, is that the Yankees trail only their division rival Baltimore Orioles in both of those categories; the same Baltimore Orioles that took two of three from the Braves only a little over a week ago. The series against the Orioles wasn't a complete loss though, as the Braves lone win came in the last game of the series, where the Braves put up six runs then came home to win five of the next six. The Braves don't necessarily need to sweep the Yankees, or even win the series to survive, but in order for the fan base to take them seriously as "being back", the Atlanta Braves need to show up and show out in New York.
