How long will this homerless streak go?

This question is entirely in service of me telling you this one crazy factoid (and also to fulfill the daily question post quota):

Across the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons, the Braves never had a stretch of more than three games without a homer.

They had a five-game and four-game homerless streak in 2018 (both in the summer). There was a five-game streak in 2024 (in April), and a four-game streak last year (also in April).

Three-game streaks, like the one the Braves have now, are fairly common. Sorta. They’ve already had one earlier this year, they had two last year (in addition to the four-game streak), there were five others in 2024… but amazingly, none in 2023, or 2021, or 2020.

Anyway, I hope the Braves hit a homer today, because they’re 6-11 when they don’t homer and 30-9 when they do, but, y’know, they gotta actually do it.
