Atlanta Braves 2025 MLB World Series Futures – MLB Lines
At the onset of the 2024 season, the Atlanta Braves were coming off six consecutive National League East Division titles. Included in that run was the 2021 World Series championship. But the other five times, Atlanta did what it is known for and lost a playoff series that she should have won, and last year epitomized the Braves’ reputation. In 2023, Atlanta won 104 games but was taken out three games to one by a lesser Philadelphia Phillies team in the NLCS. Next, in the 2024 campaign, the injury riddles Braves settled for a wild card berth and were swept out in short order. Still, Atlanta remains in the top tier of the future market as a World Series favorite.

Major moves: Signed OF Bryan De La Cruz to a split deal, Signed OF Jurickson Profar to a 3-year deal.
For Atlanta, whose roster was beset by a cavalcade of injuries in 2025, a lack of activity this winter may be seen through rose-colored glasses as good news. It might indicate that Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. — two game-changing forces who missed most of 2024 — are set to return sooner than expected. But through a glass-half-empty lens, the Braves’ inactivity could be seen as robbing a talented roster of much-needed complementary pieces.
As of now, beyond the addition of Profar, it appears that Atlanta is content backfilling those roles with internal options and returns from injury.
It was reported that the Braves had an offer agreed to with Jeff Hoffman before concerns over the pitcher’s medical led to a scuttling of the deal.
But for the most part, the president of baseball operations, Alex Anthopolous, has been uncharacteristically passive. How Anthopoulos goes about fortifying his bench and bullpen over the next six weeks could have enormous import for a Braves team that remains one of the game’s most talented groups.
Atlanta Braves Key Players
The number one starter, Chris Sale, is coming off a banner season in 2024. Sale went 18-3 with a 2.38 earned run average with a WHIP of 1.01. He struck out 225 batters in 177.2 innings. Sale is an 8-time All-Star.
RHP Raisel Iglesias is the Atlanta closer. In 2023, Iglesias was 5-4 with a 2.75 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 33 saves in 37 opportunities. Last year, Iglesias was 6-2 with a 1.95 ERA and 34 saves. His WHIP was 0.74.
RF Ronald Acuna Jr is one of the most exciting players in the game. IJN 2023, he produced 149 runs, 35 doubles, 41 home runs, 106 runs batted in with a 1.012 OPS. However, Acuna played in only 49 games last season and may not be back until May for the 2025 campaign.
