The 2025 MLB season started, but it has been very hard for the Atlanta Braves. The Atlanta Braves are the defending champions. That means they won the World Series last year. But this year, they have lost every single game so far. The team is now 0-7. No team in MLB history has started a season this badly after winning the World Series. Atlanta Braves fans are worried, and everyone asks what went wrong?

Braves suffer worst start ever at 0-7 after winning World Series

When a team wins the World Series, everyone believes they will do well the following year also. But it's been the contrary for the Atlanta Braves. They have lost every single game they've played. They played the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. These are good teams, but nobody expected the Atlanta Braves to lose every time.

In their last game, Shohei Ohtani from the Dodgers hit a walk-off home run. This can be clearly seen that he hit the winning shot at the end. It was a big moment for the Dodgers, but a very sad one for the Braves. This loss made the Braves' record 0-7.

Braves head home now can they finally claim their first win

The Atlanta Braves now return to their home stadium. They will next play at Truist Park. Fans are waiting for the team to feel improved and play better with the assistance of the home crowd. The team's next games are against the Miami Marlins and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Even though things look bad, the Atlanta Braves still have time. It’s a long season. If they fix their problems and play as a team, they can still do well. Fans want them to stop losing and start winning again.
No one thought the 2025 season would begin like this for the Atlanta Braves. But sometimes, even the best teams have slow starts. Now all eyes are on their next game, will it be the one where they can win?
