At the onset of the season, the Braves were one of the top baseball betting odds favorites for the National League pennant. Philadelphia was ignored as a discredited team that hasn’t met expectations. Thus far, both teams are surprises. Philadelphia is off to a promising start that has gamblers reconsidering their potential. Counter to that is a Braves team that stumbled out of the gate. Atlanta is consistently priced high for public demand. When they lose, it’s a bankroll buster. Although it’s too soon to worry, gamblers are not pleased with the Braves.
