Which 1990s-2000s Atlanta Braves team was the best?

One World Series championship (1995) in their historic Braves dynasty, but which 1990s/2000s Braves team was the best?
I would say probably 1993 or 1997.
The Braves should have won in '97. They would have swept the Indians in 4 in '97.

1996 was the best team

1998. Won 106 games. Pitching staff was Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Neagle, Millwood. That was the best staff through the entire run. Chipper and Galarraga destroyed everything in the middle of the lineup. Out of all of the playoff losses, that loaded team losing to the fricking Padres may be the worst of them all

Don't know which Braves team was the best but '96 was their most baffling postseason loss. How is it possible for a team to have a +39 run differential in the playoffs and not even win the World Series?

It doesn't get more interesting than 90's Braves.

Are you sure not '97?
Glavine would have destroyed that Indians lineup.

Hard to say since so many of those teams were loaded. Probably 97 or 98.

The 1996 NLCS against STL was awesome. Down 3-1 then outscored them something like 33-1 over the final 3 games.
Then shite themselves against the Yankees smdh

1993 unfortunately. I'm still sick over the Giants losing the pennant race with the Braves in 93' on the last day of the season. Bonds' first year with the Giants and he hits .336 with 46 HRs and 123 RBI. I was obsessed with the Giants and Will the Thrill and co. (My dad was in the front office of the AA affiliate Shreveport Captains). We added Bonds and win 103 games! Well, the Braves won 104. I was 13 yrs. old and was captivated by that pennant race. I've seen it called the last great pennant race because the very next season (strike shortened 1994) they implemented the wild card. 93' was also the last year the Braves we're in the NL west. They moved over to where they should have been in the east the next season. Should have been an epic NLCS matching up these two 100+ win teams. Salomon Torres was called up from the Captains that year and ended up pitching the last game against the Dodgers and got shelled. Glavine goes out and pitches a gem to win his 22nd game (3rd straight year with 20 wins) and clinch the division for the Braves. 1993 is also the year the Braves got Fred McGriff and Chipper Jones made his big league debut. Of course, they go on to lose to the freaking Phillies.

If it wasn't for the World Series title in '95, the run the Atlanta Braves went on throughout the 90s and into the early-00s might be the biggest choke job in the history of professional sports. So many great teams, many of them with three future Hall of Famers in the bullpen, yet only one world title to show for it.
