Atlanta Braves Odds: Betting 2024 Season

Atlanta Braves Season Rundown: World Series, Conference, Division odds to win

Prior to the start of any new season in the MLB, you can basically put teams into 3 distinct categories – contender, dark horse, or lost cause. Of course, things don’t always turn out the way we expected, as there are so many different details that can make or break a season, with injuries very much at the top of the list. In the beginning, though, those 3 groups do exist, and I think it is more than fair to suggest that the Atlanta Braves fall very much into the contender category. They look absolutely stacked from top to bottom and are not that far removed from a World Series win. Expectations for the Braves in 2024 are incredibly high, but will all of that add up to a successful regular season and a deep playoff run? Let’s take a closer look at their MLB odds and their chances.

Braves in the NL East

I think we can all agree that the Atlanta Braves are the team to beat in this division, especially when you consider that they are looking for their 7th straight division crown. Making things even more convincing is that fact that they are coming off their best regular season performance since 2003, finishing the 2023 season with a record of 104-58.The question now is whether that is their high bar or if they still have more in the tank.

You have to look at the division and try to figure out which, if any, of the other 4 teams can give the Braves a run for their money. In that regard, you would have to say that the Philadelphia Phillies look like the biggest threat. Even with that, the Braves are still a clear favorite at odds of -275.

Braves in the National League

Here is where things get interesting, and perhaps even a little risky, when it comes to wagering on the Atlanta Braves to win the NL pennant this season. This is a team that has crossed the 100-win mark in each of the last 2 seasons, but who have also crashed out in the opening round of the playoffs in each of those years, both times losing to the Philadelphia Phillies. This is proof positive that regular season success does not always carry over into the postseason.

Even if the Braves can win the division again, which looks like a good bet, and make it beyond the NLDS, they are more than likely going to run into the LA Dodgers, who are the favorites to win it all this season. Is this version of the Atlanta Braves good enough to do that and go the distance? The bookies certainly seem to think it’s possible, as they have Atlanta just behind the Dodgers to represent the NL in the World Series, with their current odds sitting at +275.

Braves and the World Series

Back-to-back 100-win seasons, the current MVP in the lineup, and a squad that looks absolutely loaded. What’s not to like about the Atlanta Braves? The easy answer to that is their lack of postseason success in each of the last 2 seasons. Still, the Braves are almost certainly going to be in the playoffs and this group may well have learned from those negative experiences of the last 2 years. To me, it all adds up to this team being a legitimate contender at odds of +500.
