A record against the baseball betting odds can indeed differ from the record on the field. While it is no surprise that the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates are in the red, there are two other surprises. The Atlanta Braves are a postseason regular and perennial World Series contender. So, too, are the Arizona Diamondbacks a regular playoff contender. Yet the Braves and the Diamondbacks are deeply in the red agaisnt the oddsmakers. Atlanta is a highly popular team that brings high prices and painfully expensive losses when they suffer a defeat. Meanwhile, Arizona is simply inconsistent.

Rockies Cause an Avalanche of Losses
The Colorado Rockies are indeed on pace to have the worst online wagering record in baseball history. To illustrate, Colorado is 9-46 with a staggering -2855 units. The Rockies are equally horrid at home, on the road, and with the moneyline.
It comes as no surprise that the Rockies have some of the worst metrics in Major League Baseball. To illuminate, Colorado ranks 29th for run production, 28th for OPS, and 28th for home runs. The Rockies rank 30th for earned run average and 30th for fewest errors committed. Thus, Colorado won’t be drawing much support despite the bargain prices offered by oddsmakers.
Pittsburgh Turns Sportsbooks Into Pirates
It is more of the same for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2025. Pittsburgh’s status as one of the worst franchises in sports continues. The Pirates are 20-36 and -1040 units. Somehow, the Pirates are showing modest losses at home. But on the road and with the run line, Pittsburgh is an MLB odds catastrophe.
Pittsburgh ranks 30th for run production, 29th for 4 OPS, and 29th for home runs. On the other hand, the Pirates do rank 6th for quality starts. However, Pittsburgh ranks 25th for bullpen earned run average and 24th for fewest errors committed.
Atlanta Making Gamblers Not So Brave
The Atlanta Braves have flopped out of the gate with a 25-28 start. Cause by their popularity and mega-brand status, they are drowning gamblers in red ink. To show, Atlanta is down -994 units. Including -1133 units on the road. Additionally, Atlanta is in the deep red at -495 agaisnt the run line.
Overall, Atlanta ranks a disappointing 21st for run production and 16th for home runs. On the hill, Atlanta ranks 14th for earned run average and an alarming 27th for bullpen earned run average.
Although injuries have harmed the Braves, their performance has been shocking to gamblers.
No Diamonds in the Rough For Arizona D-Backs
Inconsistent Arizona stumbled out of the gate with a record of 27-28 and -415 units. The Diamondbacks are in the red at home, on the road, and agaisnt the run line.
On the positive, Arizona ranks 4th for run production and 5th for home runs. Additionally, Arizona ranks 6th for quality starts. Furthermore, Arizona ranks 16th for bullpen earned run average. Thus, there are signs that things may improve for Arizona as the season progresses.
A Sour Brew for Milwaukee
So far in 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers are 28-28 but -345 in betting units. Milwaukee is showing a good profit at home, but is losing money on the road, with a deficit of -804 units.
In sum, Milwaukee ranks 13th for run production, 18th for earned run average, and 29th for quality starts. The Brewers 4th 4th-ranked bullpen is saving them from oblivion.
