The Atlanta Braves<\/a> have been the best team in Major League Baseball in 2026 so far. They are 36-18 on Memorial Day, and they’re firmly in first place in the NL East and the National League as a whole.<\/p>\n

Looking around Major League Baseball, only the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> still have fewer than 20 losses on the year, a sign of how good the Braves have been to begin the season. The question now is how far this Braves team can go in 2026.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez<\/a> predicted that the Braves will continue with their red-hot start to the season and become the only team to accomplish a feat this season, one that hasn’t been done in the last few years.<\/p>\n

Braves predicted to be lone team to 100 wins in 2026<\/p>\n

In response to the question of: “How many teams will win 100 games this season, and who will finish with the most wins?” Gonzalez shared a straightforward prediction: “With all due respect to the Rays and Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>, the answer is one — the Braves.”<\/p>\n

The Braves reaching 100 wins this season would be very impressive, and with their .667 winning percentage, they’re on pace to win well over 100 games this season.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez is predicting the Braves will reach such a 100-win total this season, but that there won’t be another team to accomplish the feat this season.<\/p>\n

Even with how good the Rays, Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>, Milwaukee Brewers, Cleveland Guardians<\/a>, and New York Yankees<\/a> have been this season, the Braves are the lone team predicted by Gonzalez to reach 100 wins.<\/p>\n

No team has reached 100 wins since 2023, when the Braves did so with 104 wins, while the Baltimore Orioles<\/a> also reached 101 wins, and the Dodgers won 100 games.<\/p>\n

Winning 100 games out of a 162-game season is a very impressive feat, and the Braves are predicted to be the only team to reach such a win total this season, snapping a three-year streak without a 100-win club.<\/p>\n
