Atlanta Braves Power Rankings - 2012
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 8 | 26-16 | 4 | Tim Hudson has pitched well in four of his five starts, and he's pitched seven or more innings in each of his past three outings. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 7 | 22-13 | 4 | A series loss to the Cubs sandwiched between road sweeps of the Rockies and Cardinals is a bit odd, but the Braves are playing excellent baseball right now. With their win Sunday, the Braves have scored the most runs in the NL. -- Franklin Rabon: Capitol Avenue Club | |
| Week 6 | 18-11 | 7 | Brandon Beachy continues to impress. He has a 1.62 ERA and a .190 batting average against in his first six starts of the season. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 5 | 14-8 | 7 | The Braves lost just one series in April and had two five-game winning streaks in the month. Atlanta was 21st in baseball in OBP last year at .308, but so far this year, the offense is 12th at .325. -- David Lee: Capitol Avenue Club | |
| Week 4 | 10-6 | 7 | For the second week in a row, the Braves put together a five-game winning streak, this time posting a plus-31 run differential. The lone dull spot to this point has been Jair Jurrjens and his 12 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings pitched. -- Kevin Orris: Capitol Avenue Club | |
| Week 3 | 5-4 | 13 | After a dismal 0-4 start resulted in flashbacks to last September, the Braves bounced back with five straight wins to finish the week. Jason Heyward's new swing is producing results; he's 10-for-29 with two home runs so far. -- David Lee: Capitol Avenue Club | |
| Week 2 | 0-3 | 23 | This season is starting how last year ended for Atlanta, but Jason Heyward's swing looks much improved from last season. -- Ben Duronio: Capitol Avenue Club | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 14 | The Braves are hoping bounce-back years from Jason Heyward and Martin Prado propel them into the playoffs. Though they have injury concerns with their pitching, they hope their great pitching depth allows them to deal with a reasonable amount of DL time from the starters. -- Franklin Rabon: Capitol Avenue Club | |
