Atlanta Braves Odds

Atlanta Braves 2025 Season Preview

The Atlanta Braves approach the 2025 MLB season as a viable contender in the NL East. The Braves have reached the postseason seven consecutive seasons and that streak has a high probability of extending. 

Pitchers Max Fried and Charlie Morton are gone. However, the eventual return of Spencer Strider will be key. Strider led the majors in strikeouts (281) and wins (20) in 2023 before only playing two games last season because of elbow surgery. Also, reigning Cy Young winner Chris Sale is coming off a campaign of 18 wins and 225 strikeouts with a 2.38 ERA. All-Star pitcher Reynaldo Lopez is another weapon in the rotation. 

2023 NL MVP Ronald Acuna Jr. will eventually come back from his torn ACL, which will be a boost to the lineup. Matt Olson and Austin Riley will once again be steady at first and third base respectively. 

As long as the Braves keep pace until Strider and Acuna Jr. are back, there's no reason another playoff berth isn't within reach.

Braves Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Braves game:

• Houston Astros (+1.5)
• Atlanta Braves (-1.5)

As shown above, the Braves are favored by 1.5 runs against the Astros; the minus sign (-) indicates Atlanta is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Atlanta here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Braves would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Astros +1.5 would win if Houston won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

Braves Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Houston Astros +150
• Atlanta Braves -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Braves, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Astros would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

Odds can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so always make sure you shop for the best line with The Action Network app.

Braves Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Braves-Astros matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Braves Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Ronald Acuna Jr. over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that Max Fried will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Braves Futures

Bettors should shop for the best line to get good odds on Braves futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Braves to win the NL East, win the National League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.
