At the beginning of the season, nobody saw the Boston Red Sox as better than the New York Yankees. Boston has overcome the Yankees in the American League East Division standings. Boston does not have the best metrics with baseball betting odds. But the Red Sox are better than expected and showing good value. On the other hand, the Atlanta Braves are the best team in baseball. Atlanta will be judged in October when the playoffs commence. Of great concern to gamblers is the Braves’ popularity on the board.
