Looks like the Braves had a rainout against the Rockies on 9/16 that hasn't been made up yet.
They likely won't play that game unless it ends up mattering in the standings. It's not unusual at all for some teams to finish a season with less than 162 games because the makeup games don't matter to the standings.
ETA: In 2019 the White Sox and Tigers both played 161.
In 2018 the Marlins and Pirates both played 161.
In 2016 it happened to a bunch of teams, looks like the Indians, Tigers, Marlins, Braves, Cubs, and Pirates all played 161.

That also happened to the Cardinals in 2006. There was a rainout against the Giants or some other team they don't play often. And the game was never made up since it had no playoff implications (the Astros finished 1.5 games behind). If the Astros finished .5 games out on the last day of the season, the Cardinals would have been forced to make up the rainout game since it would have had playoff implications. As it played out, they only played 161 games that year.
